[R] for loop and if problem

[David Winsemius]

write.csv does exactly what you would expect ... creates a *Comma*  
Separated Values file. If you don't want a comma separated value  
format then use write.table with sep=";"

You can still name it "whatever.csv".

Or you if you also intend commas for decimal points,  use write.csv2  
as described in the help page:

"write.csv2 uses a comma for the decimal point and a semicolon for the  
separator, the Excel convention for CSV files in some Western European  
locales."
