write.csv.tabular

Write table to file in CSV or other format.

Description

This writes the formatted table into a CSV or other delimeted file, for import into a spreadsheet or other report writer.

Usage

write.csv.tabular(x, file="", 
    justification = "n", row.names=FALSE, ...)
write.table.tabular(x, file="", 
    justification = "n", row.names=FALSE, col.names=FALSE, ...)

Arguments

`x`	An object from `tabular`.
`file`	A filename or connection to which to write.
`justification`	Parameter to pass to `format.tabular`.
`row.names, col.names`	Parameters to pass to `write.csv` or `write.table`
`...`	Parameters to pass to `format.tabular` or `write.table`; see Details below.

Details

write.csv.tabular writes a simple version of the table (similar to what is produced by print.tabular) to the given connection in CSV format, using write.csv. write.table.tabular does similarly using the more general write.table.

The optional arguments in ... are sent to write.csv/write.table if their names exactly match parameters to write.table; otherwise, they are sent to format.tabular.

Value

The return value from write.csv or write.table.
