    type="auto", force=FALSE, \ldots)
  ## S3 method for class 'list':

s <- list(createMassSpectrum(mass=1:5, intensity=1:5),
          createMassSpectrum(mass=1:5, intensity=1:5))

## export a single spectrum
export(s[[1]], file="spectrum.csv")
## identical to exportCsv(s[[1]], file="spectrum.csv")

## export a list of spectra
export(s, path="spectra", type="csv")
## identical to exportCsv(s, path="spectra")
