Dear Eric, Try this:
# First function f1=function(x,k) c(x,rep(NA,k-length(x))) x<-c(3,4,5) f1(x,5) # Second function f2=function(x,val){ res=which(x==val,arr.ind=T) paste(res,collapse=',',sep='') } x<-matrix(1:9,ncol=3) f2(x,2) HTH, Jorge On Mon, Jul 7, 2008 at 5:07 PM, Eric Turkheimer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am wondering if it is possible to perform the following two basic > functions with primitive R functions.
