Re: [R] paste: multiple collapse arguments?
Try this also: paste(apply(matrix(x, 2), 2, paste, collapse = ' '), collapse = \n) On Mon, Aug 25, 2008 at 8:36 PM, remko duursma [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dear R-helpers, I have a numeric vector, like: x - c(1,2,3,4,5,6) I make this into a string for output to a text file, separated by \n: paste(x, collapse=\n) Is there a way to alternate the collapse argument?

Try this: x - c(1,2,3,4,5,6) paste(paste(x[seq(1, by=2, length=length(x)/2)], x[seq(2, by=2, length=length(x)/2)]), collapse=\n) [1] 1 2\n3 4\n5 6 On Mon, Aug 25, 2008 at 7:36 PM, remko duursma [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dear R-helpers, I have a numeric vector, like: x - c(1,2,3,4,5,6) I make this into a string for output to a text file, separated by \n: paste(x, collapse=\n) Is there a way to alternate the collapse argument?

One possibility is: y - rep( ,6) y[6] - y[c(2,4)] - \n res - paste(paste(x,y,sep=),collapse=) --- On Tue, 26/8/08, remko duursma [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: remko duursma [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [R] paste: multiple collapse arguments?
