Hi, I would expect the following:
paste( as.character( cat( rep( ".", 2 ) ) ), "a string", as.character( cat( rep( ".", 3 ) ) ) ); to yield this string: ". . a string . . .", but instead it yields this: > . .. . .[1] " a string " The third argument has been stuck immediately after the first. The same thing happens with cat() or c(). What's going on?
