R: Print list to a text file

Question

I have in R a list like this:

> print(head(mylist,2))
[[1]]
[1] 234984  10354  41175 932711 426928

[[2]]
[1] 1693237   13462

Each element of the list has different number of its elements.

I would like to print this list to a text file like this:

mylist.txt
234984  10354  41175 932711 426928
1693237   13462

I know that I can use sink(), but it prints names of elements [[x]], [y] and I want to avoid it. Also because of different number of elements in each element of the list it is not possible to use write() or write.table().

Answer 1

Not tested, but it should work (edited after comments)

lapply(mylist, write, "test.txt", append=TRUE, ncolumns=1000)

Answer 2

Another way

writeLines(unlist(lapply(mylist, paste, collapse=" ")))

Answer 3

depending on your tastes, an alternative to nico's answer:

d<-lapply(mylist, write, file=" ... ", append=T);
