Unfortunately the "shorter" version does not do what the op asked.
The correct way is using the 'collapse' parameter. Using paste on a vector of length n with the parameter 'sep' you get a vector of n elements. If you use "collapse" you get a single string.

Quoting Cristian Montes <cmon...@arauco.cl>:

Even shorter is

x<-c("a","b","c","d")
paste(x, sep="+")

Cheers,

Cristian Montes

Hi all,

Is there a function that allow me to concatenate each value in a
vector to a string?

x<-c("a","b","c","d")

output string = a+b+c+d

Thanks,
phoebe
