###Creating Data Examples#####
a <- sample(1:100, 100, replace = FALSE)
TestData1 <- data.frame(Data1 = a,
                        Data2 = c(-a[1:80], sample(210:230, 20, replace = TRUE)),
                        Data3 = c(a[1:80], sample(210:230, 20, replace = TRUE)),
                        Data4 = sample(150:180, 100, replace = TRUE))
b <- sample(1:50, 100, replace = TRUE)
TestData2 <- data.frame(Data1 = b,
                        Data2 = c(-b[1:80], sample(210:230, 20, replace = TRUE)),
                        Data3 = c(b[1:80], sample(210:230, 20, replace = TRUE)),

###Use 'cat','capture.output' command to output all sample tables#####
#type option:"latex","text","html"
#In the example, output as html file

#Summarize data and output html file to working folder
#summary option:TRUE
cat(capture.output(stargazer(TestData1, type = "html", summary = TRUE,
                             align = TRUE, single.row = TRUE, no.space = TRUE)),
    file = "Table1.html", append = FALSE)

#Not summarize data and output html file to working folder
#Adapt the 'head' command because of the large amount of data
#rownames option:FALSE
#sumary optio:FALSE
cat(capture.output(stargazer(head(TestData1), type = "html", summary = FALSE, rownames = FALSE,
                             align = TRUE, single.row = TRUE, no.space = TRUE)),
    file = "Table2.html", append = FALSE)
