Could not find function "write.delim" whereas it can find "read.delim"

Question

install.packages("readr")
setwd("~/Desktop/R_programing")
library(readr)

test <- read.delim(file='inpatient.tsv',header=TRUE, sep="\t")
test

colnames(test) [3:4] <- c("COL3","COL4")
write.delim(test, file = "result.tsv")
help.search("write.delim")

Here is my code, the function read.delim works fine however the line write.delim throws an error:

  could not find function "write.delim"

What could be wrong?

The ‘readr’ package is completely unrelated to this: `read.delim` is a *base R* function. — Konrad Rudolph, Sep 19 '21 at 20:34

The readr package includes write_delim instead of write.delim

write_delim(test, file = "result.tsv")

ah ... so they were meaning to use readr functions – user20650 Sep 19 '21 at 20:35

You should have written this as a comment and voted to close. It's just a misspelling problem. – IRTFM Sep 20 '21 at 00:57
@IRTFM what about [this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69231356/how-to-subset-dataframe-based-on-values-that-do-not-match-in-two-columns-in-r/69231403#69231403) then? I see almost 100s of subset questions asked over the years – akrun Sep 20 '21 at 01:00
