[R] for loop and if problem

[Prof Brian Ripley]

There is write.csv2 on the same help page as write.csv!

      'write.csv' uses '"."' for the decimal point and a comma for the
      separator.

      '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.

I've never seen a CSV file with ; that used . for the decimal point, 
so check out if you really want write.csv2.
