You may be used to the idea that there are code files and data files
and that's it. But an .RDA file is a saved version of one or more R
objects of any kind and therefore may contain a data set (stored as a
data.frame), a fitted regression model, AND a vector (for example).

Maybe do:

load("yourfile.RDA")
ls()

to see what you have in yourfile.RDA and then perhaps do

help(write.table)

to learn how to write out a matrix or data.frame as a text file if
that's what you're trying to do.

Hope this helps,

Stephen
