Use noquote(): noquote(paste0(x,collapse = ", ")) will print without quotes. (Internally the data is the same, but a class attribute is added that tells print() not to add quotes.)

Hi, Thanks for clarifying, there is no quote in the result. The quote in the output is just R's way to tell you that the variable got printed is a string. If you add quotes around a string, it will get printed like "\"Alice, Bob, Charles\"" I hope this helps.
