And did you read the help file, ?paste , paying attention to the arguments and
their descriptions, specifically the "sep" argument? Presumably, you
want,
paste(a, b, sep = "")

Hi Guys
I am want to join to strings in R. I am using paste but not getting
desirable result.
For the sake of clarity, a quick example:
> a="Bio"
> b="iology"
> paste(a,b)
[1] "Bio iology"
*There is a SPACE in the word biology which is what I dont want *
Thanks,
-Abhi
