Hi Joel, This looks so much like homework I would give studens that I'm not surprised Uwe jumped to conclusions...
ontopic: You did not specify your earlier attempts, just that they failed. This makes it hard for us to judge what went wrong. Using strsplit I would do: string<-"a b c d e f" # The important bit is the subset ([[1]]) # strsplit can work on a vector of strings # so just splitting on string requires this step splitted <- strsplit(string, ' ')[[1]] for(entry in splitted) print(entry) cheers, Paul On 05/11/2011 09:22 AM, Joel wrote: > This is no homework, Im just trying to learn R but sorry for wasting your > time you all mighty God of R Uwe Ligges. > > And if this is not a forum to ask simple questions can you please redirect > me to where I might get help? > > //Joel > > -- > View this message in context: > http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Loop-over-a-split-string-tp3514204p3514225.html > Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. > > ______________________________________________ > R-help@r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. -- Paul Hiemstra, MSc Global Climate Division Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) Wilhelminalaan 10 | 3732 GK | De Bilt | Kamer B 3.39 P.O.
