substring and paste character with a for loop
...ut the commas.
The problem is, that "paste" does not work in the loop as I expected.
text <- "aaa,bbb,ccc,ddd"
characterseq <- seq(1,15,4)
for (i in characterseq ){
m <- paste(substring(text,i,i+2),sep = "")
}
> m
[1] "ddd"
m should be "aaabbbcccddd" and not just "ddd"
with best regards
Chris
