[R] Problem in convert function in RTAQ package

Do you get any errors?  I am not too familiar with RTAQ, but I am not
seeing aynthing you are doing obviously wrong.  Another possibility I
guess is that R may not have write permission to the datadestination
folder.  It may help if you could report some more information, maybe
upload the text file you are using online.  You could also try
starting R with administrative privileges.  I am not sure that is the
problem, just thinking out loud (or out written perhaps).

Cheers,

Josh
