Hi all, I want to club different objects (character type) to a single one and
using paste() function that can be done happily. However the problem with paste
function is the separator field is unique for all underlying objects. If I put
separator as "-" then this will come in between all underlying objects which
are to be clubbed.
Therefore I am wondering whether there is any mechanism to put different
separators for different places. Trivially this can be done by applying paste()
function repeatedly. However I feel there must be some single mechanism for
doing that.
Here is one example, where I apply paste() function twice to incorporate 2
different separators:
> paste(paste("a", "b", sep=","), "c", sep=":")
[1] "a,b:c"
Can the same thing be done using paste() function once? something like:
paste("a", "b", "c", sep=c(",", ":")) # this put 1st separator everywhere which
is not intended
Thanks,
