Hi,
Since S-Plus is so great for data manipulation, I want to pose this
question with regard to data output. As a simple example, if I have a
dataframe (5 x 3) with the fields: ID, X1, Y1, X2, Y2 and I want to create
an ASCII file in format with line feeds and the word END added as indicated
below (for the ESRI tribe - yes, I'm creating a generate file). Is there a
way to do this in S-Plus or am I left with outputting a regular ASCII file
and then using awk/sed? Any suggestions would be welcomed. Thanks.
Susan
