I am writing a program that inputs 2 lists of numbers each with two
columns, and creates a 3rd list also with two columns.
For Example, lets say that the files file.txt and file2.txt look like this:
file.txt file2.txt
1 1.5 0 3.6
2 4.6 2 1.9
3 6.8 6 4.2
I can read them into Mathematica with ReadList
A = ReadList["file.txt", {Number, Number}]
B = ReadList["file2.txt", {Number, Number}]
then I do all my operations that I need to do on them and come up with a
two column matrix C.
In plain old Mathematica form it looks like, say,
C = {{1, 2.7}, {2, 1.9}, {3, 3.0}}
But I want to get a file, call it file3.txt, that contains just 2 columns,
like file.txt and file2.txt.
I've tried TableForm and MatrixForm, etc. to format the output and then
used Save to save it, but when I open the text file, I get all this junk
in there (Gridbox, TableForm, and all the braces and stuff actually in the
text file).
So is there a way for me to have Mathematica save the information as a
plain old text file with two columns of numbers, no words, no braces, none
of that junk.
Thanks for any help.
