R help - Mar 2004 - how transform excell file to text file in R

Hello, it want to know if there is a library that transform a file in
excell (*. xls) to text file(*.txt, *,prn, *.csv).  Thanks

Maybe but,
>From excel 
save as 
then set type to one that you want.

Perl has some tools for this, and various Windows scripting languages can do
this.
