[Rd] write function (PR#10953)

[Hilmar Berger]

Hi Alexander,

from the Help page of write:


Usage
write(x, file = "data",
       ncolumns = if(is.character(x)) 1 else 5,
       append = FALSE, sep = " ")

Arguments

x the data to be written out.
file A connection, or a character string naming the file to write to. If 
"", print to the standard output connection.

ncolumns the number of columns to write the data in.

append if TRUE the data x are appended to the connection.
sep a string used to separate columns. Using sep = "\t" gives tab 
delimited output; default is " ".


So, set ncolumns to 1 for a one-column file. No bug AFAIKS.

Regards,
Hilmar
