• Then, use write.csv function to save the vector in CSV file.

Example 1

Let’s create a vector as shown below −

 Live Demo

x<-rnorm(20)
x

On executing, the above script generates the below output(this output will vary on your system due to randomization) −

[1] 0.1771119 0.1380003 -0.3802071 -1.1502674 -0.9965625 -0.3693598
[7] -0.5193763 1.4656757 -0.3345711 -0.4971942 -0.3540402 1.3554071

[19] 3.3330014 -0.1953936

Save the vector in CSV file

Using write.csv file to save the file −

x<-rnorm(20)
write.csv(x,file=”x.csv”,row.names=F)

Output

Example 2

Let’s create a vector as shown below −
