[R] inconsistency in display of character vector....
dear members,
I have the following code to update the list of
stocks:
function (snlcqn)
{
lneq <- c()
URL <- "https://canmoney.in/Intraday%20scrip.xls"
file.string <- tempfile()
download.file(URL,file.string)
IDT <- read_excel(file.string)
leq <- IDT[,1]
for(i in 1:length(leq)){
lneq[i] <- substr(leq[i],1,(nchar(leq[i])-2))}
for(j in 1:length(lneq)){
snlcqna[j] <- paste("NSE/",lneq[j])}
if(identical(snlcqn,snlcqna) == "FALSE"){
return(snlcqna) }
else {
return(snlcqn) }
}
snlcqn is the list of present stocks and snlcqna is the list of updated stocks.
The problem is the return object, instead of getting displayed in contiguous
list, is getting displayed with lots of spaces...( I am using R on a LINUX RHEL
AWS instance):
[192] "NSE/YESBANK"
[193] "NSE/ZEEL"
Why is this happening? How can I get the return object as a contiguous list?
Very many thanks for your time and effort...
yours sincerely,
AKSHAY M KULKARNI

[R] Fw: inconsistency in display of character vector....
dear members,
The mail is not showing the spaces between [192]
"NSE/YESBANK" and [193] "NSE/ZEEL" ...Actually there is a
lot of empty spaces between the two.....!!!!!!

Hi, You will be hard pressed to get helpful answers as you have not provided any way for list readers to replicate your data and code. Check out this https://rseek.org/?q=reproducible+example On the other hand, ... (1) I have a hunch that one place you are getting tripped up by your effort to treat IDT as a regular data.frame. In fact, read_excel(), I'm guessing from the readxl package, returns a tibble. When you subset a tibble like you have with... leq <- IDT[,1] ... you get a 1-column tibble...> leq# A tibble: 208 x 1 SymbolSeries <chr> 1 ACCEQ 2 ADANIENTEQ 3 ADANIPORTSEQ 4 ADANIPOWEREQ 5 AJANTPHARMEQ 6 ALBKEQ 7 AMARAJABATEQ 8 AMBUJACEMEQ 9 ANDHRABANKEQ 10 APOLLOHOSPEQ # ... with 198 more rows So, that may be part of the issue (but I'm not really sure if it causes the problem you identify). (2) Also another possible tripping point, when you prepend 'NSE/' to whatever lneq is supposed to be, you are using paste() without specifying the sep argument which defaults to a single space " ". If you want it to be something else then you have to explicitly set the value of sep. (3) Finally, you will have much better luck getting help if you configure your email client to send plain text to this list. Fancily formatted text is made un-fancy by the list-server software - which will mess up your posted code. That's why you keep getting ...

Hi You definitely should not use HTML formated mail. This is plain text mailing list for reason. If you experience space between "NSE/" and pasted second part, you should read paste help page which states paste (..., sep = " ", collapse = NULL) so it has space as separator. You should use paste0 if you want to get rid of separating space or axplicitely state paste (..., sep = "")> lneq <- c() > for (i in 1:10) lneq[i] <- letters[i] > lneq[1] "a" "b" "c" "d" "e" "f" "g" "h" "i" "j"> snlcqna<-LETTERS[1:10] > for (j in 1:10) snlcqna[j] <- paste("NSE/",lneq[j]) > snlcqna[1] "NSE/ a" "NSE/ b" "NSE/ c" "NSE/ d" "NSE/ e" "NSE/ f" "NSE/ g" "NSE/ h" [9] "NSE/ i" "NSE/ j"> for (j in 1:10) snlcqna[j] <- paste0("NSE/",lneq[j]) > snlcqna[1] "NSE/a" "NSE/b" "NSE/c" "NSE/d" "NSE/e" "NSE/f" "NSE/g" "NSE/h" "NSE/i" [10] "NSE/j" Cheers Petr Osobn? ?daje: Informace o zpracov?n? a ochran? osobn?ch ?daj? obchodn?ch partner?
