Dear Philipp and Duncan,

I've tried

write(as.character(myvec), "output.txt", sep="\n")

and

writeLines(as.character(myvec), "output.txt", sep="\n")

Both yielding same result.

Is there any other possible  explanation, why it
still went wrong?

Yes, your myvec is not a factor. My previous message told you how to determine what it is.

I want to print this vector into a file

However using this command:
write(myvec, "output.txt", sep="\n")

I get this instead in my output.txt:

What's wrong with my command above?

I think your vector is a factor and what ends up in your file is the
internal representation of the factor.  Try this instead:

write(as.character(myvec), "output.txt", sep="\n")
