R help - Oct 2008 - How to export text into separate text files

Hello,

I'm producing text from my data.frame using cat function. I would like
to use for loop to export each column in my data.frame into separate
text files. Here is the example code

r <- t(Indometh)
for (i in 1:ncol(r)) {
     cat("Some text,", "\n")
     cat("\n")
     cat("More text, More text, More text")
     cat("\n")
     cat(paste(names(r[!is.na(r[,i]), i]), ":",
as.character(r[!is.na(r[,i]), i]), "\n"))
     cat("-----------------------------------", "\n")
}

So, each of these columns (results between --- and ---) should be
exported into separate text files e.g. file1.txt, file2.txt, file3.txt
etc.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Lauri

"jim holtman" <jholtman at gmail.com>  just answered a similar
question for someone who wanted to input txt files.  His suggestion is below. 
It should work for output as well

Jim Holtman's suggestion.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

for (i in 2:4){
    input <- read.delim(paste('vegetation_', i, '.txt',
sep=''))
    ,,,, process the file ....
}

--------------------------------------------------
