How to export coefficients of the regression analysis fto a spreadsheet or csv file?

Question

I am new to RStudio and I guess my question is pretty easy to solve but a lot of searching did not help me.

I am running a regression and summary(regression1)

There's a contributed package called broom that simplifies this task, it converts model output to tidy dataframes. Here's a self-contained reproducible example:

Download and install the package:

library(devtools)
install_github("dgrtwo/broom")
library(broom)

Here's the normal base output, not very convenient:

lmfit <- lm(mpg ~ wt, mtcars)
lmfit

Call:
lm(formula = mpg ~ wt, data = mtcars)

Coefficients:
(Intercept)           wt  
     37.285       -5.344 

Here's the same model output after it's been tidied up by the broom package, much nicer and easier to work with:

tidy_lmfit <- tidy(lmfit)
tidy_lmfit
         term  estimate std.error statistic      p.value
1 (Intercept) 37.285126  1.877627 19.857575 8.241799e-19
2          wt -5.344472  0.559101 -9.559044 1.293959e-10

And here's how you'd write that dataframe to CSV:

write.csv(tidy_lmfit, "tidy_lmfit.csv")
