writeDataFrame.AromaUnitSignalBinarySet: Writes the data set as a tab-delimited text file

Description

Writes the data set as a tab-delimited text file with or without file header comments.

We do neither recommend nor encourage the usage of this method; it is only available due to popular demand. For more details, see below.

Usage

"writeDataFrame"(this, filename=sprintf("%s.txt", getFullName(this)), path=file.path(getRootName(this, tags = "*,txt"), getFullName(this), getChipType(this, fullname = FALSE)), ..., units=NULL, columns=c("unitName", "*"), sep="\t", addHeader=TRUE, createdBy=NULL, nbrOfDecimals=4L, ram=1, columnNamesPrefix=c("fullnames", "names", "none"), overwrite=FALSE, verbose=FALSE)

Arguments

filename

The filename of the generated file.

path

The path where the generated file should be written.

...

Not used.

units

The units to be written. If NULL, all units are considered.

columns

A character vector specifying which column names, including optional annotation data column names, that should be exported. A string "*" corresponds to inserting the column names of the source data files.

columnNamesPrefix

A character string specifying what type of prefix should be used for column names.

verbose

A logical or a Verbose object.

Value

Returns the written data set as a TabularTextFileSet object.

Warning

There is no limitation in how big the generated file can be. The bigger the data set is, the greater the file size will be. Because of this, we do neither recommend nor encourage the usage of this method. It is available only due to popular demand. Instead we recommend to write each file to a separate file. See writeDataFrame() of AromaUnitSignalBinaryFile for more information.
