[R] need help opening a file

[Charles C. Berry]

Sudhindra,

You should read the Posting Guide before asking for help:

 	http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html

It has greats hints on how to solve problems like this yourself, and you 
should try them before posting.

It might suggest that this is a good thing to run in R if you need help 
with data 'export':

 	RSiteSearch("export")

The first hit produced is the manual 'R Data Import/Export', which is 
provided along with your installation.

When you look there you will find this section:

 	1.2 Export to text files

RSiteSearch() also gives hits from this newslist from people like yourself 
who could not figure out how to export their data. Reading those should 
help you.

HTH,

Chuck
