Hello, I guess the solution is rather simple but whatever I tried, I don't manage to get the result as I want to have it: I have several vectors of equal length in a list and I'd like to combine all first elements to a single string, all second elements to a single string, ..., all n-th elements to a single string. # Example code (how it should look like): t1 <- c(1,2,3) t2 <- c(3.4,5.5,1.1) paste(t1,t2, sep="\t") # and now how the data is available tl <- list(t1,t2) ??? what do I have to do to get the same output ??? Can anybody help me? Antje
try this:
t1 <- c(1, 2, 3)
t2 <- c(3.4, 5.5, 1.1)
tl <- list(t1, t2)
do.call("paste", c(tl, sep = "\t"))
I hope it helps.
Best,
Dimitris
