How to save an xtable file locally using R?
To save an xtable file locally, obviously we first need to create the xtable and then use the print function for saving the file. Therefore, we require xtable package loaded in R environment and the data set that we want to save as an xtable file. In the below example, we have used iris data in base R for this purpose. Take a look at the example to understand how it works.
Loading xtable package −
library(xtable)
Considering iris data −
Example

data(iris)
head(iris,20)

8 5.0 3.4 1.5 0.2 setosa
9 4.4 2.9 1.4 0.2 setosa
10 4.9 3.1 1.5 0.1 setosa
11 5.4 3.7 1.5 0.2 setosa
12 4.8 3.4 1.6 0.2 setosa
13 4.8 3.0 1.4 0.1 setosa
14 4.3 3.0 1.1 0.1 setosa
15 5.8 4.0 1.2 0.2 setosa
16 5.7 4.4 1.5 0.4 setosa
17 5.4 3.9 1.3 0.4 setosa
18 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.3 setosa
19 5.7 3.8 1.7 0.3 setosa
20 5.1 3.8 1.5 0.3 setosa
Creating an Xtable of partial iris data −
Xtable_iris<-xtable(iris[1:30,])
Saving Xtable_iris locally −
