Writing variables to a file with writeLines

Question

I found this link very helpful in understanding how to write lines to a file: Write lines of text to a file in R

Unfortunately though I\'m finding that I do not know how

Answer 1

In addition to using paste instead of cat, you could also possibly use cat directly in place of writeLines with the file argument to cat pointing to the connection. Or even less work (for the programmer, not the computer) is to not worry about the connection yourself but use the file and append arguments to cat to add to a file.

Answer 2

Try substituting the "cat" function for the "paste" function:

file.create("sample.txt")
fileConn <- file("sample.txt")
writeLines(c(paste(i, j, k, "07"),"1","41.6318 -87.0881 10.0"), fileConn)
close(fileConn)

Answer 3

Use paste instead of cat

file.create("sample.txt")
fileConn <- file("sample.txt")
writeLines(c(paste(i, j, k, "07"),"1","41.6318 -87.0881   10.0"), fileConn)
close(fileConn)
file.show("sample.txt")
