exportTab-methods

Export to text files

Description

This function exports AbstractMassObject-class objects (e.g. MassSpectrum-class, MassPeaks-class) into different text file formats.

Usage

## S4 method for signature 'AbstractMassObject'
exportTab(x, file, force=FALSE, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'list'
exportTab(x, path, force=FALSE, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'AbstractMassObject'
exportCsv(x, file, force=FALSE, ...)

## S4 method for signature 'list'
exportCsv(x, path, force=FALSE, ...)

Arguments

`x`	a `AbstractMassObject-class` object or a `list` of `AbstractMassObject-class` objects.
`file`	`character`, file name.
`force`	`logical`, If `TRUE` the `file` would be overwritten or `path` would be created.
`path`	`character`, path to directory in which the `list` of `AbstractMassObject-class` would be exported.
`...`	arguments to be passed to `write.table`.

Details

exportTab and exportCsv use write.table with different defaults (sep="\t" in exportTab and sep="," in exportCsv).

## export a single spectrum
exportTab(s[[1]], file="spectrum.tab")

## export a list of spectra and use ; as separator
exportCsv(s, path="spectra", sep=";", force=TRUE)
