Here is a start. You basically have to interate through your data and
use 'cat' to write it out:
particle <- list(dose=c(1,100.0,0),pos=data.frame(x=c(0,1,0,1),y=c(0,1,0,1)))
output <- file("/tempxx.txt", "w")
cat(particle$dose, "\n", file=output, sep=" ")
for (i in 1:nrow(particle$pos)){
cat(particle$pos$x[i], particle$pos$y[i], "\n", file=output, sep=" ")
}
cat("#\n", file=output, sep=" ")
close(output)
Here is what the file looks like:
1 100 0
0 0
1 1
0 0
1 1
