You can use write.table() function to export data frame to a text file in R.

The following method shows how you can do it with syntax.

Method: Use write.table() Function

write.table(dataframe, path = "C:\\Users\\admin\\data.txt")

The following example shows how to export data frame to text file in R.

Using write.table() Function

To use write.table() function you need to follow below steps:

Step 1: Create a Data Frame

Let first create data frame in R:

# Create data frame
df <- data.frame(Start_date=as.Date(c("2000-05-21","1998-03-28","2001-01-19","2003-04-27","2004-11-26","2008-11-25")),
                 Machine_name = c("Machine1","Machine2","Machine3","Machine4","Machine5","Machine6"),
                 Value = c(110,120,108,95,98,105),Reading= c(110,97,95,89,80,85))

# Print data frame
print(df)

Output:

  Start_date Machine_name Value Reading
1 2000-05-21     Machine1   110     110
2 1998-03-28     Machine2   120      97
3 2001-01-19     Machine3   108      95
4 2003-04-27     Machine4    95      89
5 2004-11-26     Machine5    98      80
6 2008-11-25     Machine6   105      85

The output show data frame which having five column in it.

Step 2: Use write.table() to Export Data Frame

Let see how to store this data frame in text file:

# Create data frame
df <- data.frame(Start_date=as.Date(c("2000-05-21","1998-03-28","2001-01-19","2003-04-27","2004-11-26","2008-11-25")),
                 Machine_name = c("Machine1","Machine2","Machine3","Machine4","Machine5","Machine6"),
                 Value = c(110,120,108,95,98,105),Reading= c(110,97,95,89,80,85))

# Export data frame to text file
write.table(df,"machine.txt")

Here using above R script we can export data frame to text file.
