Hi Bill, However with as.character it fail show the actual strings.
It gives this: > new_repo <- as.character(repo) > str(new_repo) chr "1:32267" > print(new_repo) [1] "1:32267" Instead of >> str(new_repo) > chr [1:100] "AAA" "AAT" "AAC" "AAG" "ATA" "ATT"... > >> print(new_repo) > [1] "AAA" "AAT" "AAC" "AAG" "ATA" "ATT"... - Gundala Viswanath Jakarta - Indonesia On Tue, Jan 13, 2009 at 2:40 PM, <bill.venab...@csiro.au> wrote: > as.character() > > > Bill Venables > http://www.cmis.csiro.au/bill.venables/ > > > -----Original Message----- > From: r-help-boun...@r-project.org [mailto:r-help-boun...@r-project.org] On > Behalf Of Gundala Viswanath > Sent: Tuesday, 13 January 2009 3:25 PM > To: r-h...@stat.math.ethz.ch > Subject: [R] Converting Factor to Vector > > Hi all, > > How can I convert factor like this: > >> str(repo) > 'data.frame': 1000 obs. of 1 variable: > $ AAA: Factor w/ 1000 levels "AAT","AAC",..: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ... >> print(repo) > AAA > 1 AAA > 2 AAT > 3 AAC > ... > > into to simple vector > >> str(new_repo) > chr [1:100] "AAA" "AAT" "AAC" "AAG" "ATA" "ATT"... > >> print(new_repo) > [1] "AAA" "AAT" "AAC" "AAG" "ATA" "ATT"... > > > I tried as.vector(), but it remains the same factor. > > - Gundala Viswanath > Jakarta - Indonesia > > ______________________________________________ > 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. > ______________________________________________ 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.
