Re: [R] Concatenate a vector into a string, only using distinct component

probably you want: stg <- c('a', 'b', 'c', 'a', 'c') paste(unique(stg), collapse = ", ") I hope it helps. Best, Dimitris -- Dimitris Rizopoulos Ph.D. Student Biostatistical Centre School of Public Health Catholic University of Leuven Address: Kapucijnenvoer 35, Leuven, Belgium Tel: +32/(0)16

Hi Anh, Try this, x=c('a','b','c','a','c') paste(unique(x),collapse=", ") [1] "a, b, c" HTH, Jorge On Tue, May 6, 2008 at 2:22 PM, Anh Tran <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm trying to use combine c('a','b','c','a','c') into 'a, b, c', the order > does not matter. > > paste(c('a','b','c','a','c

[R] Concatenate a vector into a string, only using distinct component

I'm trying to use combine c('a','b','c','a','c') into 'a, b, c', the order does not matter. paste(c('a','b','c','a','c'), collapse=', ') yields 'a, b, c, a, c'. Any idea? -- Regards, Anh Tran [[alternative HTML version deleted]] __ R-help@r-
