[R] How to print the frequency table (produced by the command "table" to Excel

[jpm miao]

Jim,

   Thanks for creating such a fantastic package "prettyR".
   I want to print the pretty frequency table (with row total and column
total) to an excel (or csv ) file. Is it possible?
>alphatab

A B Total
A 8 10 18
B 7 5 12
C 9 11 20
Total 24 26 50

   Two issues I encountered (See the attached csv file).
1. When I tried to print the above table to csv file, all elements on the
same row are printed in one cell.
2. If I write "delim.table(alpha tab)", the table is distorted (see
attached). Of course, I can adjust it manually but sometimes the number of
files is big.

    Thanks!

Miao

Crosstabulation of alpha1 by alpha2

alphatab
