[R] save to ascii
All, Usually when I save a variable I have ascii = FALSE since I usually load the variable via the load(variable) command and do not need to view the variable outside of R. When I set ascii = TRUE and view the variable outside of R in a text editor, I notice additional characters (starting w/ RDA2 ...) before the first actual value in the vector. Is there are way to save to ascii such that this does not happen? I checked the help under save and didn't see anything. I apologize in advance for this overly simplistic question.

Re: [R] save to ascii
You could try using functions like 'dput()' or 'dump()'. These may or may not be equivalent to 'save()' depending on how complex the object to be saved is. -roger P.S.

Re: [R] save to ascii
Perhaps use dput?
