That may not work (depending on the platform OS) if the directory
'outputDir' does not already exist (it will not work on Linux).
In that case, first:
system(paste("mkdir",outputDir))
Then Henrique's suggestion should work (untested), or simply the
bare-hands construction (tested!):
write.table(test.table,
paste(outputDir,"/","test.table.txt",sep=""),
sep="\t")
