Use \n in the character string, if I understand you aright, as in
foo <-"a\nb"
This produces a CSV file from write.table() with a line-break halfway through a record, thus:
"4" 4 "d" "5" 5 "new line" "6" 6 "f"
R will happily read.table() this back in again, but other packages may not be so obliging. OpenOffice spreadsheet makes a hash of it, sticking 'line"' on a line on its own in the spreadsheet. I hope whatever Jens wants to do with these CSV files works!
