Subject: export vector with write() introduces line breaks
In-Reply-To: <3FC1DBA3-2908-4487-BC15-FBB49640D9DF@googlemail.com>
1. Read ?write carefully. Note what it says about write() writing to
columns and the link to cat().
2. Use cat() with appropriate arguments to write your file instead.
e.g.
cat(1:600, file=yourfile,fill=FALSE)
Cheers,
Bert
