Not is the programmer. I see that:
cat( "a\nb\nc\nd")
... is probably what you wanted and my answer was not. Apologies for the noise.

Notice that I am refusing to acquiese by your request because I do not think
you understand how escaped characters are represented in R. (In programming the
customer is not always right.)

Subject: [R] Is there a function that print a string vertically (by adding
"\n")?
Hi,
I'd like to print a string vertically. For example, I would like to print
"abcd" as "a\nb\nc\nd"
Is there a function in R such that
Input: "abcd"
Output: "a\nb\nc\nd"?
Thanks,
Miao
