[R] Concatenating one character vector into one string
Hi
I am sure this is simple - but how can I convert one charecter vector
into one string?
example:
x <- c("This ", "is ", "one ",
"sentence.")
should become
"This is one entence"
Thanks
Rainer

Rainer,
This works: paste(x, sep="", collapse="")
I would have thought this 'paste(x) would work, but it didn't.
Perhaps someone else can tell us why we need collapse="". What would
break if the default was collapse="" instead of collapse=NULL?
Thanks,
Roger
