Thank you for the response, Peter.
The approach:
write.table(format(df, drop0trailing=FALSE),file='df.txt',quote=F,sep='\t',row.names=F)
surprisingly still results in some loss of trailing 0's.
df:
EFFECT2 PVALUE
1 0.023 0.88080
2 -0.260 0.08641
3 -0.114 0.45200
df.txt:
EFFECT2 PVALUE
0.023 8.808e-01
-0.26 8.641e-02
-0.114 4.520e-01
