How can I get R to export this data without the e+00?
I think you need to tell us how you got it to output that way! I get > -1.892972e+00 [1] -1.892972 So I suspect this is part of a set of numbers, all in scientific format. You can control that with options(scipen=) in R 1.8.0: see its help page. -- Brian D.
