Should you need datasets that come with R and additional packages (you can access them via data()) in one single file, here’s what I did to dump the entire workspace into one file:
rm(list=ls())
data(list = data()$results[, 3]) # put datasets into your global environment
sink("datasets.txt")
for (i in 1:length(ls())) {
cat("*****************", "\n")
print(ls()[i])
cat("*****************", "\n")
print(get(ls()[i]))
cat("\n")
}
sink()
This code can easily be adapted to dump individual dataset into its own file.
