Usage

df_to_csv(df)

Arguments

df

Examples

# Create a data.frame
example_data <- data.frame(
  Name = c("Alice", "Bob", "Carol"),
  Age = c(30, 25, 28),
  Height = c(168, 175, 162),
  stringsAsFactors = FALSE
)

# Convert the data.frame to a CSV-formatted character string
csv_string <- df_to_csv(example_data)
cat(csv_string)
#> "Name","Age","Height"
#> "Alice",30,168
#> "Bob",25,175
