variable in the file name for write.table in R

Question

Please help me with naive question (already googled, and tried a lot of variations, but failed): How save files with the variable in the file name for write.table in R? Scri

Answer 1

The sprintf function can also be used for this type of thing with a little different syntax:

write.table(utms, file=sprintf("%s.mean",x))

Answer 2

You can use paste to do this.

Try the following:

write.table(utms, file=paste(x, ".mean", sep=""))

paste concatenates character vectors. See ?paste for more details.

Answer 3

You can use also the following for data frames:

now<-format(Sys.time(), "%d-%m-%Y")
csvFileName <- paste("Your_df_",now,".csv",sep="")
write.csv(WKSH_Check, file=csvFileName)
