By only selecting the first column, i.e. write.table(data[,1], file="", .....) ?
Hi, I have a function that generates some output with 2 columns, but I
only want to write the first column to a file. Is there a way to do
this in the write.table command?

thetaout=write.table(estimatedtheta, file="/Users/morse07/Desktop/R/
Trial/score.dat", row.names=F, col.names=F)

Any advice would be great, thanks!

Notice that this drops to a vector, losing the variable name.

Brendan may need data[,1, drop=FALSE], and/or give row.names=FALSE to 
write.table, depending on what the real problem was.
