I assume you're talking about reading a file with commas, and writing
one without.

Use one of the read functions (e.g. read.csv, read.table, or scan)
which can deal with the commas on input.  Then write using write.table
with the default separator, a space.

You'll likely want non-default choices for the row.names and col.names
parameters.
