[R] outputting R loop to a csv file

[PIKAL Petr]

Hi

Above what David said, there is chance that you do not need cycle for your computation.

From what you describe about your csv files there seems to be some mismatch in your write.csv statement.

Make a small example code together with data set, preferably as an output from dput, and try again to ask.

Regards
Petr
