Thanks. I still didn't get the solution. For example, I have a data frame,
called temp
> temp
  Chr Ref Var     AFF    UNAFF AFF.test     pvalue
1  10   A   G  2/1/24    0/0/190        5/49  2.429e-09
2  18   G   A  1/9/17  0/23/167       11/43  2.484e-04
3   1   G   A  2/2/22    0/8/176         6/46  4.293e-04
4  11   T   G  1/1/25    0/2/188          3/51 1.193e-03
5   2   A   T 1/10/16   38/90/60       12/42  2.220e-03
6   3   G   A 1/16/10  8/49/133        18/36 4.549e-03

Then I want to write a csv file using R function write.csv, as follows:
> write.csv(temp, file="temp.csv", row.names = FALSE)

and the csv file, temp.csv, looks like the below, not same as original data
Chr    Ref    Var    AFF           UNAFF        AFF.test    pvalue
10        A    G    02/01/2024    0/0/190        May-49        2.43E-09
18        G    A    01/09/2017    0/23/167      Nov-43        0.0002484
1          G    A    02/02/2022    0/8/176        Jun-46        0.0004293
11         T    G    01/01/2025    0/2/188        Mar-51        0.001193
2          A    T    01/10/2016    38/90/60       Dec-42        0.00222
3          G    A    1/16/10        8/49/133       18/36          0.004549
