Exporting to text files
I have dose response data analyzed with the package 'drc'. 'summary(mymodel)' prints my kinetic parameters. I want that text in an ASCII text file. I want to get exactly what I would get if I copied and pasted from the terminal window. I've read the documentation on data export to text files here: https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-data.html#Export-to-text-files write() does not work.
summary(mymodel)
Model fitted: Michaelis-Menten (2 parms)
Parameter estimates:

Residual standard error:

write(summary(mymodel), "kinetics.txt")
Error in cat(x, file = file, sep = c(rep.int(sep, ncolumns - 1), "\n"), : argument 1 (type 'list') cannot be handled by 'cat' If I try to unlist(mymodel):
write(unlist(summary(mymodel)), "kinetics.txt")
I get the following contents of "kinetics.txt": 485.537711262143 4501.62443636671 3821.31920509004 3821.31920509004 3549.67055527084 213.435401944579 94.4931993582911 67.0941460663053 59.5791117361684 3.18113299681396 1.58601222147673 0.00980057624097692 0.143819823442402 MM.2() continuous 10 4.63571040101587 3.93514151059103 3.93514151059103 3.65540149913749 Michaelis-Menten 2 22.0349202690217 10 How do I get the output of 'summary(mymodel)' verbatim? Why doesn't it work the way I think it does? What documentation should I read to understand what's going on here?
