This method writes tab delimited files and offers enhanced control over the writing of a row.names column.

1 2	write.delim(x, file, na = "---", row.names = FALSE, col.names = TRUE, append = FALSE, ...)

`x`	a `matrix` or `data.frame`
`file`	The file name (including path) which will be created. It will be over-written without warning.
`na`	What to replace `NA`'s with. Sensible options include “—” (the default), “”, or “-”.
`row.names`	either `TRUE`, `FALSE`, `NULL`, `NA`, or a `character(1)`. See Details.
`col.names`	logical: If `TRUE` then write out the column names.
`append`	logical: if `TRUE`, then append to end, else overwrite the file.
`...`	Further arguments passed to `write.table`

Writing row names.
Allowable values for row.names are:

`TRUE`	row names are written with a blank column header
`FALSE`	no row names are written
`NULL` or `NA`	row names are written, with no column header, just like `write.table`
the name of a column	row names will be written, with the column header set to the value of `row.names`

Note that If x has no row and/or column names, then no row and/or column names
will be written, no matter what the settings for row.names or col.names are.

If you use the default options, then it works nicely with read.delim.

a tab-delimited txt file is written out.
