How to record data in R with a csv file?
The following functions in R can be used to save data to a csv file.
- write.csv(): write a data frame or matrix to a csv file.
Example: write to a csv file named “data.csv” - Create a data frame with columns x and y containing values 1, 2, 3 and 4, 5, 6 respectively. Save the data to a CSV file named “data.csv” without including row names.
- write.table() function is used to write data frames or matrices into a CSV file, with the option to customize the delimiter. For example, writing data into a CSV file named “data.csv” using a comma as the delimiter.
- Create a dataframe with two columns named x and y, with the values 1, 2, 3 and 4, 5, 6 respectively. Then write this dataframe into a csv file named “data.csv” without including row names, using a comma as the separator.
- write.csv2(): write a data frame or matrix to a csv file, using a semicolon as a delimiter.
Example: write the data frame to a csv file named “data.csv” using a semicolon as a delimiter. - Create a data frame called ‘data’ with columns x and y, then save it as a CSV file named ‘data.csv’ without row names.
In the example above, the data is a data frame that can be in other forms of data objects. The file parameter specifies the path and name of the CSV file to write to. The row.names parameter specifies whether to include row names.
