this seems l ike it shouldn't be that hard but i give up.
if i have a string say, temp<-"01", I want to increase it by 1 so that it becomes "02". but the following code obviously won't work when the input string is say "10" because then it gives "011" when I just want "11". uuugh.
does someone know an easy way ( i guess hard is fine too. beggars can't be choosy ) around that ? the code below probably explains more
clearly what i mean. thanks. temp1 <- "01" paste("0",as.numeric(temp1)+1,sep="") temp10 <- "10" paste("0",as.numeric(temp10)+1,sep="") ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
