Unable to write data into file

Hey folks,

I am completely new to R programming and have been trying some stuff and am stuck at some places. I am not sure if this the right place to direct my queries. If not, please correct me.

Meanwhile, I had a doubt while trying to write my data using R. I created a simple list and and am trying to write that data into a .txt file that I have already created on my Desktop. My code and error looks as follows:

> data7 = scan ()
1: 23 17 12.5 11 17 12 14.5 9 11 9 12.5 14.5 17 8 21
16:
Read 15 items
> write(data7, file = ‘Desktop/data7.txt’, sep = ‘,’)

However, I get the following error:

Error in file(file, ifelse(append, “a”, “w”)) :
cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning message:
In file(file, ifelse(append, “a”, “w”)) :
cannot open file ‘Desktop/data7.txt’: No such file or directory

I am using Mac OS.

Does anyone have any clues?

Thanks in advance,

Chai
