[R] write data from function into external table

[Adaikalavan Ramasamy]

What is your desired output ? This will clarify the problem greatly.

Perhaps, this might be of some use :

 f <- function(v, pos, val=100){  v[pos] <- val; return(v)  }

 test <- 1:3
 test <- f(test, 1)
 test
 [1] 100  2  3

Regards, ADai
