This is regarding an issue that I'm facing while exporting data to a .csv file. I'm working with a large dataframe in R. It contains few cells with characters greater than 32767, which is apparently the maximum that a cell can accomodate. When I export the data to a .csv file the content of these cells spills over into the next row. The dataframe however looks completely fine once the .csv file is imported into RStudio. Is there a way to limit the number of characters in each cell to 32767 while exporting the data?
I found the solution to my question in the answers posted here.
Let's say df is the dataframe which I want to export to a .csv file. The following code does the job
df <- as.data.frame(substr(as.matrix(df), 1, 32767))
write.csv(df, <file>, rownames = FALSE)
