Using 'cat' on data frame

Dear all,

I have the following data frame:
Var1
                 Freq
1     AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA   707
2     AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAC    14
3     AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT     3

But why when printint it using 'cat', it doesn't print
the desired string "AAA" ?
1 2 3

What's wrong with my cat command above.

print(as.matrix(raw.count),quote=F)

cat(as.character(raw.count$Var1))

"What's wrong" is that Var1 is a factor rather than a character  
vector. Veslot's answers provide the proper method for dealing with  
that situation.
