[R] easy way of paste
Hello,
Is there a better way to use paste such as:
a =
paste(colnames(list.indep)[1],colnames(list.indep)[2],colnames(list.indep)[3],colnames(list.indep)[4],colnames(list.indep)[5],sep=+)
a
[1] aa+dummy1+dummy2+bb+cc
I tried
a = paste(colnames(list.indep)[1:5],sep=+)
a
[1] aa dummy1 dummy2 bb cc
But it will not give me the way I want.
Thanks,
Rebecca

Re: [R] easy way of paste
It looks like you want collapse rather than sep: list.indep - data.frame(aa=1:4, dummy1=1:4, dummy2=1:4, bb=1:4, cc=1:4) paste(colnames(list.indep), collapse=+) [1] aa+dummy1+dummy2+bb+cc On Thu, Mar 21, 2013 at 11:15 AM, Yuan, Rebecca rebecca.y...@bankofamerica.com wrote: Hello, Is there a better way to use paste such as: a = paste(colnames(list.indep)[1],colnames(list.indep)[2],colnames(list.indep)[3],colnames(list.indep)[4],colnames(list.indep)[5],sep=+) a [1] aa+dummy1+dummy2+bb+cc I tried a = paste(colnames(list.indep)[1:5],sep=+) a [1] aa dummy1 dummy2 bb cc But it will not give me the way I want.

Re: [R] easy way of paste
dat2-as.data.frame(matrix(1:20,ncol=5))
colnames(dat2)- c(aa,dummy1,dummy2,bb,cc)
paste(colnames(dat2),collapse=+)
#[1] aa+dummy1+dummy2+bb+cc

Re: [R] easy way of paste
Hello A.K.,
Thanks! I use collapse instead of sep and get the answer.
Cheers,
