Why I get this error writing data to a file

Question

I have this code

myvector <- c(3.45235, 1.32525, ... , 2.41351)    # some numbers
write(myvector, \"C:/mypath/myfile.txt\")           # I use \"/\" instea         


        

Answer 1

I just shared this answer with a bit of a better explanation here, but the gist of it is:

Try opening the file in Excel to see if it's locked by another user. I was receiving the same error messages and was able to figure out that a colleague had the file open on their computer which had locked me out of the ability to edit it.
