You could try
scan(what=character(0), sep=",", file=textConnection("first,second,third"))
but better to put the strings in a file (say, strings.txt), one per
line, and read it using
scan("strings.txt", what=character(0), sep="\n")
Even better is to understand what you are really trying to do and we can
maybe help with that.
Hope this helps a little

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
