Jim,
I don't know if this is the most elegant solution :
Copy the following to your clipboard (some editors will require also to take
last paragraph mark)
first
second
third
> ## now go to R and use
> dat <- read.table("clipboard") # will give data.frame
> dat
V1
1 first
2 second
3 third
> ## or if you want a character-vector
> dat <- as.character(as.matrix(read.table("clipboard")))
> dat
[1] "first" "second" "third"
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Objet : [R] creating character vector
Is there a way to convince R to create a character vector without using the
quotes?
This works
ex1 <- c("first","second")
but when I try this it doesn't
ext <- as.character(c(first,second))
it complains. I have many variables to put into character vectors so dispensing
with the quotes would be useful.
Thanks
Jim
