Hi
You can pad some NA to the result before transforming it to required matrix but
as Frede pointed out, what do you want to do with such result?
tm.1=rbind(c(1,-3,2,-4), c(1,-3,2,-4),c(1,-3,2,-4))
xx<-which(tm.1 > 0, arr.ind=TRUE)
res<-apply(xx, 1, paste0, collapse=",")
dim(res)<-c(3,2)
> res
[,1] [,2]
[1,] "1,1" "1,3"
[2,] "2,1" "2,3"
[3,] "3,1" "3,3"
tm.1 <- matrix(c(11,22,33,-4), ncol=2)
xx<-which(tm.1 > 0, arr.ind=TRUE)
res<-apply(xx, 1, paste0, collapse=",")
res<-c(res, NA)
dim(res)<-c(2,2)
res
[,1] [,2]
[1,] "1,1" "1,2"
[2,] "2,1" NA
