Sudhindra,
You should read the Posting Guide before asking for help:
http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
It has greats hints on how to solve problems like this yourself, and you
should try them before posting.
It might suggest that this is a good thing to run in R if you need help
with data 'export':
RSiteSearch("export")
The first hit produced is the manual 'R Data Import/Export', which is
provided along with your installation.
When you look there you will find this section:
1.2 Export to text files
RSiteSearch() also gives hits from this newslist from people like yourself
who could not figure out how to export their data. Reading those should
help you.
HTH,
Chuck
