As part of my project to put different types of results into worksheets,
I would like to be able to put an auto-generated methods section. If I
compose in RWinEdt, read into R, and use write.table with a .txt file
extension, what I get out has line-breaks that correspond to those I put
in in the first place.
If I do the same thing but write.xls with .xls extention, I get an Excel
worksheet with the entire paragraph on one line (row). It seems to me
that Excel uses a special character for new-lines (new-rows). Is there a
way that write.xls could convert \n to this special character?
I'm writing lots of posts on this, but trying to break up the subjects
to create better threads.
