Well, this a CSV file that includes the exported data from the R console. In this section, we are going to drive or export the data into a CSV file using the sink() function in R.

You can also export as a csv file as shown below.Ĥ. This is how you can easily drive the data in R to connections. You can see that the data of air quality data set is driven to the text file as a external connection. In this section, we are going to export the entire data set which is available in R by default. In the previous section, we have printed the data or the output to the text file. Now you can see how neatly our R data is printed into the text file. Sink ( 'my_first_sink.txt' ) #prints numbers from 1 to 20 for (i in 1 : 20 ) #sinks the data into connection as text file Now we are going to create a file connection and print some data into it. I hope you are ready with your working path now. After that dont forget to confirm the changes using the ‘getwd()’ command as shown above. Paste the path in the setwd() function to set the new working directory. And you can also change the working directory using, #sets the new working directory To check the current working directory: #returns the current working directoryįine. We can start this process by setting up the working directory. With the help of sink() function, you can easily print the output to the text file as a connection. Split = Output will be diverted to a new connection or link.Append = The logical function used to append the data to file to avoid overwrite.File = The editable connection or the file type.sink (file = NULL, type = c ( 'output', 'message' ) ,split = FALSE ) Sink(): The sink function is used to drive the output obtained in R to the external connection. Using the sink() function, you can either print the data or you can export the data or the R output to text or CSV file types. We are going to try to make connections in multiple formats such as text and csv file types. Hello folks, today we will be looking into the applications of the sink() function in R. You can use sink() function in R to drive the data to the external connections.
