Interpretation based in the output

I need some help please, i have this file and i'm getting some results i shouldn't but donÄt know where to find for the error, i've been going through every single line of code for the past days and i cannot seem to find it.

So, i have a loop and i should have my results in a txt file.

Now the correct file should be something like:

413062.079096717
413062.079096717
413062.079096717
413062.079096717
413062.079096717

But i get something like:

"x"
"1" 459585.393096583

I know this is not much, but based in the output, can you understand anything?

Thanks

One way to solve it is to use the cat function:

e.g.

for (i in 1:5) {
  X = 413062.079096717
  cat(X, "\n", file='myfile.txt', append=TRUE)
}

Notes:

  • "\n" will print a newline after your variable,
  • file allows a filename (you can also print to screen at first by omitting this one), and
  • append=TRUE will make sure you don't keep overwriting the file every time you write

If you have a write.... command in your code, then make sure you've got the arguments row.names=FALSE and col.names=FALSE. You say it's in a loop - if you also don't have append=TRUE as an argument, the file will be getting over-written for each loop. Unfortunately, if the file exists already when you enter the loop, it won't get cleared, so either unlink it prior to entering the loop, or have something along the lines of append=(i!=1) if i being one identifies the first iteration of the loop
