Hi,

I would like to write a list to an ascii file.
I tried the following

y <- list(a = 1, b = c(TRUE,FALSE), c = "oops")
save(y, file="y.data", ascii=TRUE)
# Not satisfactory

print does not have a file="" option
cat cannot handle lists.
write does not handle lists
write.table converts it to a d.f

Perhaps I could loop through the elements of a list and keep appending
its elements to a file, but that will have a problem if any of the
elements of the list is a list. I suppose there must be a simple
function that does what I need. Sorry if I have missed anything
obvious, my searches did not return anything useful.

Thanks and regards,
Ritwik.
