Thanks everyone for the help. I should have said that I want to do this generally, not as a one-off. So I want a function to do it. Like this tp<-function(x, nr, nc) { matrix( c(x,rep(0, nr-length(x)+1)), nrow=nr, ncol=nc) } tp(x=c(1,2), nr=5, nc=4) This one looks good -- the warning message is annoying though...
