clipboard {semTools}

Copy or save the result of lavaan or FitDiff objects into a clipboard or a file

Description

Copy or save the result of lavaan or FitDiff object into a clipboard or a file. From the clipboard, users may paste the result into the Microsoft Excel or spreadsheet application to create a table of the output.

Usage

clipboard(object, what = "summary", ...)

saveFile(object, file, what = "summary", tableFormat = FALSE,
  fit.measures = "default", writeArgs = list(), ...)

Arguments

object

The lavaan or FitDiff object

what

The attributes of the lavaan object to be copied in the clipboard. "summary" is to copy the screen provided from the summary function. "mifit" is to copy the result from the miPowerFit function. Other attributes listed in the inspect method in the lavaan-class could also be used, such as "coef", "se", "fit", "samp", and so on. For the The FitDiff object, this argument is not active yet.

...

Additional argument listed in the miPowerFit function (for lavaan object only).

file

A file name used for saving the result

tableFormat

If TRUE, save the result in the table format using tabs for seperation. Otherwise, save the result as the output screen printed in the R console.

fit.measures

character vector specifying names of fit measures returned by fitMeasures to be copied/saved. Only relevant if object is class FitDiff.

writeArgs

list of additional arguments to be passed to write.table
