Here is an outline of how to do it using connections:
con <- file('/temp/mytemp.txt', 'w')
writeLines(c("#comment", "# lines", "# in the file"), con = con)
# create some data to be output as 'tab' separated
myData <- as.data.frame(matrix(letters[1:25], 5))
write.table(myData, file = con, sep = '\t')
close(con)
con <- file('/temp/mytemp.txt', 'w')
writeLines(c("#comment", "# lines", "# in the file"), con = con)
# create some data to be output as 'tab' separated
myData <- as.data.frame(matrix(letters[1:25], 5))
write.table(myData, file = con, sep = '\t')
close(con)
or:
myData <- as.data.frame(matrix(letters[1:25], 5))
writeLines(c("#comment", "# lines", "# in the file"), con = "./test.csv")
write.table(myData, "./test.csv", append=TRUE)

Dear all,
I have data.frame object in R. I want to export it in tab-delimited
file with several lines of header initiated with comment sign (#). I
do not know how to do that in R. Could you please give helps on this
problem?
Thanks in advance.
Best,
Jian-Feng,

The lines I want to write in the header lines look like, with words in
the last line (here the line "#CHROM POS ? ? ID ? ? ? ?REF ALT ? ?QUAL
