writing data into files whose names are in a vector

You have to wrap the write calls in some kind of loop. For your example, you could use a for loop. If you have multiple rows of one name you might look into the dlply function from the plyr package and use lapply to do the actual write calls.

How do I use the write function (or write.table or write.csv) to
achieve
the following please?

age=c(32,37,39)
names=c("john","peter","jake")

I would like create in a directory 3 files each named as
john.csv,peter.csv
and jake.csv and each file have data from the age vector. That is
jon.csv
will contain 32, peter.csv will contain 37 and jake.csv will contain
39.

Thanks for the help.
