R help - Nov 2008 - write every element of a variable into a separate text-file

Hello,

what I want to do, is, to write every element of a variable into a
separate text-file automatically:


My Variable:
> wull
[1] "Hallo Leute, wie gehts denn euch seid ihr noch alle..."
[2] "Is their anyone how can help me with..."               
[3] "mann, mann, mann... das nervt aber.."                  
[4] "how are you littele strange tiger..."                  
[5] ")()()(UJKJKJIJIJJOO9989////////////"                   
[6] "bradortslow, eiwudoiude, kdkdkdk:::idjidji" 

I was trying to do things like that:
> for (i in seq(along = wull))
+ write(wull[i], ("C://Users//zuber//Documents//wull(1).txt"),
+ append = F)

But what I get is just the last element [6] ("bradortslow, eiwudoiude,
kdkdkdk:::idjidji") of my variable in just one text-file.

 - I do not know, how to say to R, that it should write:  

[1] "Hallo Leute, wie gehts denn euch seid ihr noch alle..." in
"wull(1).txt" 

[2] "Is their anyone how can help me with..." in
"wull(2).txt"

[3] "mann, mann, mann... das nervt aber.." in "wull(3).txt" 

... an so on till the last element.


I hope this is possible and someone can help me.

Well, you could read the R Data Import/Export manual.
Or you could reread the help for write and figure out what
the append argument does.
Or you could reread the help for write and notice that it
should write out your entire "variable" without requiring a loop.

Your code isn't changing the filename

Try this

for(i in seq_along(wull)) write(wull[i],
paste("C://Users//zuber//Documents//wull(",i,")",".txt",sep=""))

I think this may be FAQ 7.34 How can I save the result of each 
iteration in a loop into a separate file?
