I have another question concerning the paste command: now instead of a vector I would like to paste the elements of a matrix together, which works in the same:
Mypastedmatrix <- paste(Mymatrix,collapse="") My problem now is that the program does this BY COLUMN, but I would like to have the elements pasted together BY ROW. Could anybody help me with this?
