Thank you very much Miguel ! I couldn't believe it was that easy. Luis Vega.

I wonder if you could give me a hand. I would like to combine the following elements of an array which I must generate in order to get the syntax I need for another software, lets say: c<-c(1:7) zest<-c(12,34,45,132,56,23,6) p<-"[foresnat2]" for(i in 1:7){tre[i]<-paste("con(",p," == ",c[i],", ",zest[i],", ",sep="")} [1] "con([foresnat2] == 1, 12, " [1] "con([foresnat2] == 2, 34, " [1] "con([foresnat2] == 3, 45, " [1] "con([foresnat2] == 4, 132, " [1] "con([foresnat2] == 5, 56, " [1] "con([foresnat2] == 6, 23, " [1] "con([foresnat2] == 7, 6, " I would like the elements of the object "tre" to go one after another without space (or with a character I design like for example "*" or "+" )like this: [1] "con([foresnat2] == 1, 12, con([foresnat2] == 2, 34, con([foresnat2] == 3, 45, con... etc I understand it could be done with the function "paste" invoking each of the elements, but lets say they are not only 7 but 20 or 40 elements... Is it possible? What can I do? Thank you very much in advance. Luis Vega PD: Just in case: For the other software language i was talking about, the usage of "con" is the same as "ifelse" in R, I'm trying to generate a large embed ifelse(..., ..., ifelse(...,...,ifelse()))) entry. but with what I'm requiring lines above should be enough I think.
