[R] output my results into Excel

[Dalthorp, Daniel]

Hi Michael,
If you are working in Windows:

# You can put the matrix directly into the clipboard
write.table(PRdist, file = 'clipboard', sep = '\t', row.names = F,
col.names = F)

The "sep" argument tells what character to use for separating columns.
Default for Excel is tab (i.e. '\t')

Default for write.table on a matrix or 2-d array is to write column names
(as "V1", "V2", etc.) and row names ("1", "2", etc.). If you don't want
those added to your matrix, tell R via row.names = FALSE, col.names = FALSE
