Hi, The following two 'df's should be the same, although their constructions are different. But the results of paste() are different. I don't see this is explained in ?paste. Could you help me understand why it is like this?
> df=data.frame(X=c(1, 2, 3), Y=c(4, 5, 6)) > df X Y 1 1 4 2 2 5 3 3 6 > paste(df) [1] "c(1, 2, 3)" "c(4, 5, 6)" > df=data.frame(X=1:3, Y=4:6) > df X Y 1 1 4 2 2 5 3 3 6 > paste(df) [1] "1:3" "4:6" > -- Tom ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
