Yes. > i.e. > 1 1 -> 1 > 1 > I tried paste(1,1,'\n') but it only gives "1\n1" When I use your paste()-command, I get: "1 1 \n" I assume, you used paste(1, 1, sep='\n') with this I get "1\n1" This is completely ok. If you use cat to show the result, "\n" is active: =========================== > cat( paste(1, 1, sep='\n') ) 1 1> > =========================== So... it works. Is this what you asked about? > Is there any other command for this? I tried cat but it doesn't work for > columns. Well, did I answered your question, or did I missed the meaning of what you are looking for?
