Hands-On Data Science with Anaconda

Data output

In the previous section, by using the R language, we generated a data asset called final. To save it to a CSV file, we could use the write.csv() or write.table() functions, shown in the code here:

> write.csv(final,file="c:/temp/t.csv") 
> write.table(final,file="c:/temp/t2.txt",sep=";") 

The separator for the write.csv() function is a comma, while we can specify our own separator for the write.table() function. To find out the other R functions starting with write, we could use the apropos() function, shown here:

> apropos("^write") 
 [1] "write"          "write.csv"      "write.csv2"     
 [4] "write.dcf"      "write.ftable"   "write.socket"   
 [7] "write.table"    "writeBin"       "writeChar"      
[10] "writeClipboard" "writeLines"     

For the following Python program, we ...
