Dear R users,
It may be very simple but it is being difficult for me.
I have two vectors with some common string. And, i want to combine into a vector
in such a way that it includes string from both vectors and make a unique.
For example:
x <- paste(rep("A",5),1:5,sep = ".")
x
[1] "A.1" "A.2" "A.3" "A.4"
"A.5"
y <- paste(rep("A"),3:7, sep = ".")
y
[1] "A.3" "A.4" "A.5" "A.6"
"A.7"
Now, I want to combine these two vectors in the following way:
"A.1" "A.2" "A.3" "A.4" "A.5"
"A.6" "A.7"
I tried with merge(), but not able to get as I want.
Is there any way to do this in R ?
If it is, it will be great.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ram Kumar Basnet.
