Write lines to a file — write

The text is converted to UTF-8 encoding before writing.

write_lines(text, path, eol = "\n")

Arguments

text: A character vector to write
path: A character string giving the file path to write to.
eol: The end of line characters to use between lines.

Value

The UTF-8 encoded input text (invisibly).

Details

The files are opened in binary mode, so they always use exactly the string given in eol as the line separator.

To write a file with windows line endings use write_lines(eol = "\r\n")

Examples

tf <- tempfile()

write_lines(rownames(mtcars), tf)

# Write with Windows style line endings
write_lines(rownames(mtcars), tf, eol = "\r\n")

unlink(tf)
