Hi Gabor,
Thank you very very much for your help! I'm still a little confused. Let me
re-state my problems here:
There are 29 columns in my large dataset(with 50000 rows)
I need to split out 14 different files like this:
Col1, Col2, Col3------split1.txt
Col1, Col4, Col5------split2.txt
.
.
Col1, Col28,Col29-----split14.txt
How can I do that using some functions or loop statement?
Sincerely,
Alice

Try this:
col.list <- list(1:3, c(1,4:5))
for(cols in col.list) write.table(data1[,cols], ...whatever...)
