have a look at ?paste(), e.g.,
paste(rep(2, 3), collapse = ",")
and if you need a comma at the end, then you can again use paste(),
paste(paste(rep(2, 3), collapse = ","), ",", sep = "")
I hope it helps.
Best,

Dear all,
I'm looking for an alternative way to replicate the "2," string for an
x number of times, and end up with one string containing "2," x times.
I can partly achieve this using replicate().
y <- rep("2,", times=3)
y
[1] "2," "2," "2,"
The output that I am looking for is, however, "2,2,2,". I also tried
to append(), with similar (unsatisfactory) results.
z <- for (i in 1:3) {
+ z <- append(z, y[i])}
z
[1] "2," "2," "2,"
Could anyone suggest how "2," can be replicated to "2,2,2,"?
Thank you,
Liviu
