write.csv to personal computer

RStudio IDE
1

I am very new to R. I have joined two .cvs tables into one. I am wanting to save the newly created table to my computer in a cvs file.

write.csv(all_trips, "all_data")

write.csv(all_trips, "all_data" row.names = TRUE)

A file shows in the environment as being created. I want save it to my computer as .cvs.

seems so simple and yet I can't do it.

thanks in advance

First, you need a comma between the file name and the row.names argument. With that, the data should be written to "all_data" in your current working directory. (Note that it will be a CSV file but will not have the .csv extension unless you specify that by typing "all_data.csv" as the second argument.) If you want it in a different directory than the current working directory (which you can check by running getwd()), you need to specify the path.

You need to specify the suffix in the file name such as:

write.csv(all_trips, "all_data.csv", row.names = TRUE)

Also it's CSV (comma separated values) not CVS
