it:
Only works with file paths, not connections.

sep
unconditionally as the line ending, regardless of platform.The
useBytes
argument is ignored, with a warning.
Usage
writeLines(text, con, sep = "\n", useBytes)
Arguments
text |
A character vector to write |
con |
A character string of the path to a file. Throws an error if a connection object is passed. |
sep |
The end of line characters to use between lines. |
useBytes |
