Hello, Although I cannot speak for the original individual posting this question but I would like to see an example, if possible, of how to construct a factor of several factors.
I think this would be more efficient than "paste" if such a procedure were possible and, of course, would also answer the postee's original question.

I can think of two interpretations that have two different answers. If you give a small example (as the posting guide suggests) it would certainly help me provide an answer. -- Bert Gunter Genentech Non-Clinical Statistics South San Francisco, CA > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Guenther, Cameron > Sent: Wednesday, May 24, 2006 11:46 AM > To: r-help@stat.math.ethz.ch > Subject: [R] Joining variables > > Hello, > > If I have two variables that are factors or characters and I want to > create a new variable that is the combination of both what > function can > I use to accomplish this? > > Ex. > > Var1 Var2 > SA100055113 19851113 > > And I want > > NewVar > SA10005511319851113 > > Thanks in advance. > > Cameron Guenther, Ph.D. > Associate Research Scientist > FWC/FWRI, Marine Fisheries Research > 100 8th Avenue S.E. > St. Petersburg, FL 33701 > (727)896-8626 Ext. 4305 > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > ______________________________________________ > R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide! > http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
