Hello,

That's not the problem here. The variables are read as factors. You can use the stringAsFactors argument of read.csv to turn this off:

> read.csv( 'city.csv', stringsAsFactors = FALSE )

and then you can proceed as you did.

Dear R helpers

I have a city.csv file as given below.

'city.csv'
city_name1 city_name2
New York City Buffallo
So I define

city_name = read.csv('city.csv')
city1 = city_name$city_name1
city2 = city_name$city_name2

My problem is how do I repeat the names one after other say 10 times
i.e. my output should be like

New York City Buffallo
New York City Buffallo New York City Buffallo New York City
...................
...................
...................
...................

I have tried the following commands
rep(c(city1,city2), 5)

and I got the output something like this
[1] 1 1 1 1 1 1 .......

If I try

rep((city1,city2), 5)

Error: unexpected ',' in "rep((city1,"

Please guide

Regards

MAdhavi
