Is this an example of what you want to do?
fileName <- tempfile(fileext=".txt")
fileCon <- file(fileName, "wt") # a file connection, opened for writing text
for(i in 1:5) {
cat(file=fileCon, "Line", i, "\n") # write to connection, not file name
}
close(fileCon)
Then look to see what the file contains:
> readLines(fileName)
[1] "Line 1 " "Line 2 " "Line 3 " "Line 4 " "Line 5 "
