R help - Sep 2009 - Export objects

<r-help@r-project.org>
Hi, R users,
How can I export an R object as a .txt file? As an example I have the result
from a regression and I need to save this object in a .txt file

ctl <- c(4.17,5.58,5.18,6.11,4.50,4.61,5.17,4.53,5.33,5.14)
trt <- c(4.81,4.17,4.41,3.59,5.87,3.83,6.03,4.89,4.32,4.69)
group <- gl(2,10,20, labels=c("Ctl","Trt"))
weight <- c(ctl, trt)
res <- anova(lm.D9 <- lm(weight ~ group))

Thanks,

Diana

You don't say what you want as output. It depends what you mean.

1) Do you want what appears on the console? then ?sink or ? 
capture.output
2) Do you want to create a file with elements of an object? then ?cat
3) Do you want an ASCII file that R can interpret as an object? then ? 
dput
