descriptives.scan how to save output

[kapr_genabel]

Hello GenABEL users.



I am doing GWAS of a fungal genome that has more than One Million SNPs.

This is my first time analysis with GenABEL. I would like to know how to save the descriptives.scan results into a file. (i was able to save top 10, 100 etc,)
but I wanted to save all the hits into a file.

below is the commands i tried to save the output which dint work.

Code: Select all

descanmaf03 <- descriptives.scan(qtmaf03)
dscanresults <- descanmaf03@results
 write.table(dscanresults,file="~/path to/descanmaf03.txt",sep="\t")

also in tired sink()

Code: Select all

sink(file='descanmaf03.txt')
descriptives.scan(qtmaf03)
sink()

both the above scripts gives me an error or only saves top 1o results.
"sorry if the question looks silly, but i trying to learn"

Thank you
KRP

What do you plan to do with the saved data? Is it acceptable if the file is only readable from R? Or should it be, for example, a text file (e.g. a .csv file)?
