write.table: Alternative for write.table
In Dans-labs/R-package_EmilMisc: Miscellaneous Functions I Found Useful

Description Usage Arguments Examples

Bugfix for the standard utils::write.table-function, copied from the standard-function and adapted. When using nested data.frames and quote=TRUE, the original function first looks at which "columns" are character of factor, and marks these for quoting, then flattens the structure to a matrix. This functions also inspects columns that are data.frames or comparable. See the example for the difference.

write.table(x, file = "", append = FALSE, quote = TRUE, sep = " ",
  eol = "\n", na = "NA", dec = ".", row.names = TRUE,
  col.names = TRUE, qmethod = c("escape", "double"),
  fileEncoding = "")

`x, file, append, quote, sep, eol, na, dec`	See `write.table`
`row.names, col.names, qmethod, fileEncoding`	See `write.table`

df <- data.frame(a='One;Two;Three',
                 b=I(data.frame(c="OtherVal",
                 d='Four;Five;Six',
                 e=4)))

write.table(df, "~/Desktop/Tempfile.csv", quote = TRUE, col.names = NA,
            sep = ";", dec = ",", qmethod = "double")
# This fails for utils::write.table, because Four;Five;Six is unquoted, rendering the csv useless
