[R] help with "\" in strings

[viostorm]

I would like to create a "\%" that can be written to a file as I am writing
a procedure to output to latex.

I can't create a "\%" and it is driving me crazy.

--------------------------------------

x = "This is a test % string"
gsub ("%", "\\%", x)
fileConn<-file("c:/biostats/test.txt") 
writeLines(x, fileConn) 
close(fileConn) 

--------------------------------------

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
