Hello, Alaois,
if x is your vector maybe
n <- length( x)
positions <- trunc( quantile( seq( n), prob = 0:5/5))
x[ positions]
comes close to what you want.

Hi all, I have in my code some vectors that are not of equal size. I
would like to be able for each of these vectors select 6 elements that
are (almost) equally spaced. So the first one would be at (or close) to
the beginning the last one at (or close) to the end and the other 4
equally spaced between first and last element.
How can I do something like that on a vector of not known size?
I would like to thank you in advance for your help
Regards
Alex
