I do not have any expertise on R and I have to convert RData files to CSV to analyze the data. I followed the following links to do this: Converting Rdata files to CSV and "filename.rdata" file Exploring and Converting to CSV. The second option seemed to be a simpler as I failed to understand the first one. This is what I have tried till now and the results along with it:
>ddata <- load("input_data.RData")
>print(ddata)
[1] "input_data"
> print(ddata[[1]])
[1] "input_data"
> write.csv(ddata,"test.csv")
From the first link I learnt that we can see the RData type and when I did str(ddata) I found out that it is a List of size 1. Hence, I checked to see if print(ddata[[1]]) would print anything apart from just "input_data". With the write.csv I was able to write it to a csv without any errors but it has just the following 2 lines inside the CSV file:
"","x"
"1","input_data"
Can you please help me understand what am I doing wrong and show a way to get all the details in a csv?
The object ddata contains the name of the object(s) that load() created. Try typing the command ls(). That should give you the names of the objects in your environment. One of them should be input_data. That is the object. If it is a data frame (str(input_data)), you can create the csv file with
write.csv(input_data, "test.csv")
