R help - Feb 2016 - Combining a character array into a character string

Hello everyone!

I'm sure this is very simple and that I'm just having "forest and
trees"
syndrome.

I have the following character array:
> xxy
[1] "A" "G" "C" "G" "T"

I want to end up with
"AGCGT:"

I've tried paste, paste0, gsub, no good.

Any suggestions much appreciated.

Thanks and have a great day!

Sincerely,
Erin

Back again.

I ran the paste with collapse and it worked this time.

Spooky.

Sorry for the trouble.
Erin
