Just wondering how come read.table lets you specify fill=TRUE for ragged arrays, but so far as I can tell, no equivalent for write.table?
I imagine the answer is something along the lines of ....read.table creates a rectangular structure and write.table outputs a rectangular structure, so they are congruent. If I wanted to accomplish writing a ragged list I would consider using lapply , paste, and writeLines.
Not a big deal, since I'm perfectly comfortable w/ write and scan and the other file I/O goodies. "A foolish inconsistency..." and all that.
