HI, Try this: I am not sure about the use of paste() here. To get the output from x: sapply(x,function(x) x) [,1] [,2] [1,] "A" "K" [2,] "B" "L" [3,] "C" "M" [4,] "D" "N" [5,] "E" "O"
If you want to get the result from: res<-Reduce(paste, x) do.call(rbind,strsplit(res," ")) # [,1] [,2] #[1,] "A" "K" #[2,] "B" "L" #[3,] "C" "M" #[4,] "D" "N" #[5,] "E" "O" A.K. ----- Original Message ----- From: mdvaan <mathijsdev...@gmail.com> To: r-help@r-project.org Cc: Sent: Thursday, November 1, 2012 2:47 PM Subject: [R] Reduce(paste, x) question I have a question about the Reduce function: x <- list() x[[1]] <- LETTERS[1:5] x[[2]] <- LETTERS[11:15] Reduce(paste, x) [1] "A K" "B L" "C M" "D N" "E O" How do I get this?: [1] "A" "K" [2] "B" "L" [3] "C" "M" [4] "D" "N" [5] "E" "O" Thanks for your help! -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Reduce-paste-x-question-tp4648151.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. ______________________________________________ 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.
