Use dump or write? or what?

Greetings all,
Thanks for all your help so far.
Let me give a better idea of what I am doing.  I have hundreds of
files that I need to plow thru with a t-test and correlation test.
BTW, 'tempA' and tempB' are simply columns of numbers from a gene-chip
experiment that spits out dna 'amounts'. So I have set up a loop to
read the files and carry out the tests but need to save it for later
inspection (and Jim H-you are probably right, for later inspection).
By inspection I mean I don't know what I want to do with it yet,
Remember: "That's why they call it Research."

So it seems that 'save/load' might be a good alternative for my work.
Any suggestions,
M

Greetings all,
I am calculating two t-test values for each of many files then save it
to file calculate another set and append, repeat.
But I can't figure out how to write it to file and then append
subsequent t-tests.
(maybe too tired ;} )
I have tried to use "dump" and "file.append" to no avial.

ttest_results = tempfile()

two_sample_ttest <- t.test (tempA, tempB, var.equal = TRUE)
welch_ttest <- t.test (tempA, tempB, var.equal = FALSE)

dump (two_sample_ttest, file = "dumpdata.txt"", append=TRUE)
ttest_results <- file.append (ttest_results, two_sample_ttest)

Any suggestions,
M
