R help - May 2006 - export

I have a problem with the export of a simulated matrix (nrow=1000, ncol=492). I
want to obtain a .txt file with fixed format data (five character for example).
I've tried to use the instructions: options(digits=5) followed by
write.table(...), but the .txt file reports always the data with different
lenght, whereas the matrix in R gives right result (i.e. the elements have the
same lenght).

Could you help me?

Thanks

One way is to use the sprintf-function which returns strings, and then write
these strings in a file. But it is kludgy and there must be better ways...
Best
