paste(rep(" ",10),sep="")
[1] " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " " "

As I read the documentation for paste(),
this should have produced
"         "
that is, all spaces pasted together.

You read it wrong: that is what collapse="" does.

Hope this is helpful.

Quite the reverse, a beginners' mistake.
