[R] Random Number Testing...

Hi,

Suppose I want to test a set of random numbers (using the Binormal random
number generator), input the following command to generate a set of random
numbers:
     test <- rbinom( 10000000, 1, 0.5 )

How can I, after obtaining the result, export the vector "test" into an text
file?

Then, suppose I want to do something like:
     > x <- 1e10
     > x
     [1] 1e+10
     > test <- rbinom( x, 1, 0.5 )
     Error in rbinom(n, size, prob) : invalid arguments

Why would I get the error message given that x is a number?

Thanks,

Kevin
