vectors with numbers are writable byt vectors with string not ! How to write as new line to existing dlm file any vector from Array{Any} ?

```julia
julia> open("mytestfile.txt", "a") do io
       writedlm(io, A[2,:]')
       end

julia> A
3×3 Array{Any,2}:
  "a" "a" "a"
 2 2 2
 3 3 3

julia> open("mytestfile.txt", "a") do io
       writedlm(io, A[1,:]')
       end

This has nothing to do with `writedlm`. Use `permutedims` instead of `'`.

Yes, but in this way row of array is saved as column !

```julia
2	2	2
a
a

```

How to add rows as rows ?

Use an 1xn matrix as the argument, eg

```julia
julia> writedlm(stdout, fill("a", 1, 3))
a a a

```
