[R] writing data into files whose names are in a vector

[Jeff Newmiller]

You have to wrap the write calls in some kind of loop. For your example, you could use a for loop. If you have multiple rows of one name you might look into the dlply function from the plyr package and use lapply to do the actual write calls.
