R: Print list to a text file

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

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

I saw in the comments for Nico's answer that some people were running into issues with saving lists that had lists within them. I also ran into this problem with some of my work and was hoping that someone found a better answer than what I found however no one responded to their issue.

So: @ali, @FMKerckhof, and @Kerry the only way that I found to save a nested list is to use sink() like user6585653 suggested (I tried to up vote his answer but could not). It is not the best way to do it since you link the text file which means it can be easily over written or other results may be saved within that file if you do not cancel the sink. See below for the code.

sink("mylist.txt")
print(mylist)
sink()

Make sure to have the sink() at the end your code so that you cancel the sink.
