I just had to solve this problem for myself, after not having luck with the code posted above. I'm posting in case others need a completely general function.
riffle <- function (a,b) { # Interleave a & b, starting with a, without repeating. x <- NULL; count = 1; for (i in 1:max(length(a), length(b))) { if (i <= length(a)) { x[count] <- a[i]; count = count+1; }; if (i <= length(b)) { x[count] <- b[i]; count = count+1; } }; x }; riffle( 1:10, 50:55 ) -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/Interleaving-elements-of-two-vectors-tp795123p1691317.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ 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.
