[R] Problem with writing a CSV file in UTF-8 formate

[Shotwell, Matthew S]

This should do it:

out <- file("preindx.csv", "w", encoding="UTF-8")
write.table(dfPREINDX, out, sep="|", row.names=FALSE)
close(out)

However, I believe that using "|" as a field separator makes this NOT a comma separated values (CSV) file, rather a "|" separated values file.
