Outputting a Dataframe in R to a .csv

Question

So I\'m trying to write a .csv file based on a data frame in R, but for some reason I keep getting the following error:

Error in .External2(C_writetable, x, file         


        

Answer 1

You can also coerce data frames directly in R:

my.df <- data.frame(lapply(old.df, as.character), stringsAsFactors=FALSE)

CAVEAT: this will coerce your entire dataframe to whatever type you specify. For example, if you want to coerce your dataframe to number, you would replace 'as.characater' with 'as.numeric':

 my.df <- data.frame(lapply(old.df, as.numeric), stringsAsFactors=FALSE)
