Dear Friends.
I tried to set up a table with column name and write to it row by row.
I have  3 rows to write to the table:

a1 <- list(name="Fred", wife="Mary", no.children=3)
a2 <- list(name="Tom", wife="Joy", no.children=9)
a3 <- list(name="Paul", wife="Alic", no.children=5)

When I write to it, the first write command has to be different than others
in order to put the column name in the table:

write.table(a1, file = "tt.csv", sep=',',row.names=FALSE,col.name=TRUE)

write.table(a2, file="tt.csv", sep=',', append=TRUE, row.names=FALSE,
col.names=FALSE)

write.table(a3, file="tt.csv", sep=',', append=TRUE, row.names=FALSE,
col.names=FALSE)
Is there a way to seperate the operation of
1.putting the column name in the table
and
2. writing the first row to the table
?

Best Wishes
Yuchen
