Dear R help, I have a doubt regarding the write.csv function.? When I save a file (write.csv(res1,"res1.csv")), it is saving with the read-only permission.? I tried to change the permission as a root user with chmod u+x.? Though, it says that "-rwxr--r--? 1 root root???? 164 2012-05-27 10:18 res1.csv", when I open the file it is still read-only.? Is there any way to save the file with no restrictions on permission?? I use the R? console as a root user (sudo R). Thanking you, A.K.
Take a look at ?Sys.chmod -- I haven't used it myself, but it does
seem to be what your looking for and, in particular, the default
("777") seems to be what you want.

It is bad practice to do ANYTHING in R as the root user, except possibly install
libraries. This is true for any real work in any application in general... root
is only for installing software or modifying the system configuration. The very
fact that you are doing analysis in R and saving results is part of your
problem... files created by that user are by default not readable by other
users.
