R help - Sep 2011 - pasting elements of one character vector together

hello,

i am familiar with the paste command with which i can paste for exaple:

object <- "Hello"
paste(object,"World")

now i would like to be able to paste all the elements of the same vector
together e.g:

object <- c("Hello","World")

getting as a result also:

"Hello World".

Does anyone know the solution to this problem?

Thank you very much in advance.

Try this:

object <- c("Hello", "World")
paste(object, collapse = " ")


I hope it helps.
