How to save a data.frame in R?

Question

I made a data.frame in R that is not very big, but it takes quite some time to build. I would to save it as a file, which I can than again open in R?

Answer 1

You can use the write.csv() function to save a data.frame as a csv file. (Other file formats are available, but that is the one I typically use). Here's an example:

write.csv(data.frame, "file/path/where/you/want/data/saved.csv")
