Hi, I am a new Mathematica user.
I have had success reading files of space-separated numbers using
ReadList, but now need to output my results in the same fashion. i.e.
one row of the matrix should appear on one text line,
no commas, nor curly braces are desired in the output.
I have searched the manual for a corresponding WriteList function
without success.
Any suggestions? I may have to resort to awk/sed/perl to postprocess
the file, but I would've thought Mathematica would've provided the
facilities to write data in a general format.
Thank you kindly, --tom thomas

example:
In[1]:= !! /tmp/mymat
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
In[1]:= mydata = ReadList["/tmp/mymat", Number, RecordLists->True]
Out[1]= {{1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}, {7, 8, 9}}
In[2]:= stmp = OpenWrite["/tmp/myoutput"]
Out[2]= OutputStream[/tmp/myoutput, 4]
In[3]:= Write[stmp, mydata]
%cat /tmp/myoutput
{{1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}, {7, 8, 9}}
I need to see instead:
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
