I can't create a "\%" and it is driving me crazy.
Try the fixed = TRUE argument to gsub. This works for me:
x = "This is a test % string"
writeLines(gsub ("%", "\\%", x, fixed = TRUE), "c:/biostats/test.txt")
or just use "\\\\%"
one escape for R and one for the regexp each.

Cheers,

--------------------------------------
x = "This is a test % string"
gsub ("%", "\\%", x)
fileConn<-file("c:/biostats/test.txt")
writeLines(x, fileConn)
close(fileConn)
--------------------------------------
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
