R help - Mar 2012 - Paste ignore arrayys

Dear all,
I am using paste to create a file name.
filename<- paste("GPS_", TimeStamps, sep="")
where TimeStamps is a character vector, of two elements.

The problem is that the paste instead of one string will make two, one for each
entry of the TimeStamps vector. Would it be possible to make the TimeStamps
entry interconnect by _ and convert them to string. That then will create the

"GPS_18:00_19:00"

which is what I want.

'I would like to thank you in advance for your hel

Read ?paste and use something like

paste("GPS_", paste("TimeStamps", collapse = "_"),
sep = "")
