I have a problem using read.table:

If in a dataframe, we have a string containing a dot, write.table
will not write any file while using option "dec=','".

Example

> m <- "1.5"
> write.table(m,dec=',')
Error in if (n%%nrowv == 0) value <- value[rep(1:nrowv, length = n), ,  : 
        missing value where TRUE/FALSE needed
In addition: Warning messages: 
1: no finite arguments to min; returning Inf 
2: no finite arguments to max; returning -Inf 

Whereas the contrary write the table:
> m <- "1,5"
> write.table(m,dec='.')
"x"
"1" "1,5"


Best regards

Antoine Lucas
