R help - Oct 2016 - Cannot install package write.xls

Dear R users,



I am trying to export my results to excel using write.xls or write.table but I
cannot install the packages.



Instead, I get the message



Warning in install.packages :
  package 'write.table' is not available (for R version 3.3.1)





What can I do?

I have never heard of a write.xls package. Try searching for it with Google...
you might be misspelling it.

I have never heard of a write.table package either.  There is a write.table
FUNCTION in base R with which you can create various text files that Excel can
read.  Enter ?write.table at the R console.

As far as I know, write.xls and write.table are not packages, they are 
functions. There is a write.xls function in the xlsx (and also the 
openxlsx) package and write.table is a built-in R function that exists 
in the util package.
