[R] Exporting to text files

[Ed Siefker]

I have dose response data analyzed with the package 'drc'.
'summary(mymodel)' prints my kinetic parameters.  I want
that text in an ASCII text file.  I want to get exactly what I
would get if I copied and pasted from the terminal window.

I've read the documentation on data export to text files here:
https://cran.r-project.org/doc/manuals/r-release/R-data.html#Export-to-text-files

write() does not work.

> summary(mymodel)

Model fitted: Michaelis-Menten (2 parms)

Parameter estimates:

              Estimate Std. Error t-value  p-value

Residual standard error:

> write(summary(mymodel), "kinetics.txt")
Error in cat(x, file = file, sep = c(rep.int(sep, ncolumns - 1), "\n"),  :
  argument 1 (type 'list') cannot be handled by 'cat'

If I try to unlist(mymodel):
> write(unlist(summary(mymodel)), "kinetics.txt")
I get the following contents of "kinetics.txt":

How do I get the output of 'summary(mymodel)' verbatim? Why doesn't it
work the way I think it does? What documentation should I read to
understand what's going on here?
