[R] write.csv and header

[Patrick Hausmann]

Hi Alex,

try this

mfile <- "c:\\ex01.txt"
nperm <- 12

sDate <- paste("date: ", "2009-12-13", sep="")
sFile <- paste("filename: ", mfile, sep="")
sPerm <- paste("number of permutations: ", nperm, sep="")

mt <- matrix(1:10, 2)

sink(mfile)
   cat(sDate, "\n")
   cat(sFile, "\n")
   cat(sPerm, "\n")
   cat("-----------------------------", "\n\n")
   print(mt)
sink()

Best
Patrick
