write table without quotation marks in column names....

[Witold E Wolski]

Hi

write.table
likes to quote (") the column and row names.

Is there a way to switch it off?

Hi,

Did you read the help page?

?write.table

Arguments

quote
a logical value (TRUE or FALSE) or a numeric vector. If TRUE, any
character or factor columns will be surrounded by double quotes. If a
numeric vector, its elements are taken as the indices of columns to
quote. In both cases, row and column names are quoted if they are
written. If FALSE, nothing is quoted.

Regards,
Pascal

Those last two sentences seem contradictory at first, but they are not.
  The "both cases" in the second last one refers to the cases quote=TRUE
and having it set to a numeric vector.
