Your question is not well formed: do you want a list or a string (totally different things)? Or even more likely, a character vector? What do you have now: is it really an array (=matrix) or is it the data.frame it looks like?
If it's a matrix: x <- matrix(letters[1:8], ncol = 2) x <- as.vector(x) # Character Vector paste(x, collapse = "") # String If it's a data frame with factors: x <- data.frame(matrix(letters[1:8], ncol = 2)) as.character(unlist(x)) # omit as.character() if you actually have character elements and not factors.
