Hello,

I've tried to transform my ASV read count files to the CLR form by using R Aldex2 packages.

I've got some results from it, but there is a problem. As below, the results are just shown line by line and there is no downloading button in the interface.

 ![clr results](https://forum-qiime2-org.s3.dualstack.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/2X/c/c65fb91e2bedbfb7f3118872ee7dfda2bb690af1.png)

How can I change this result to the table form that could be downloaded ?

Thank you for your help in advance.

I'm not sure what format the output is, but this is a catchall method:

```auto
sink("output.txt")

#run command that gives the output
run

#close the file
sink()

```

If the output is a dataframe googleing "dataframe to csv in R" should get something useable.
