[TriLUG] R code problem

[M.R. via TriLUG]

In case there are some R users among the readership:

After reading in .csv file [It has the class: dataframe] and subsetting
the columns down to 16 from 71, I want to write a backup .csv with the
following code.

At one time something close to the code below worked, but now it does
not. Any ideas?

CODE SNIPPET:
pth.out =
"d:/dox/projects/politics/voter_stats/ncvoter_Statewide/vtr-data-results/"
setwd(pth.out)
#getwd() # testing the path
fyl.out = "vtr_all_01.csv" # 7.6 e6 records/rows, 71 variables/columns
# all of the above did work.

# now:
write.csv(fyl.out, fyl.out)                  # sep == ,
# fails: writes two cells or 30 bytes, not the entire dataframe.
And I do not know why

Any thoughts?
