Re: [R] Repeat elements of character vector

Hi, Take a look at the argument "each" from rep(). You could do that (there might be something shorter): paste(rep(v1,each=3), 1:3, sep="_") HTH, Ivan -- Ivan Calandra, ATER University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne GEGENAA - EA 3795 CREA - 2 esplanade Roland Garros 51100 Reims, France +33(0)3 26

[R] Repeat elements of character vector

I have a vector of several character elements: v1 <- c("a", "b", "c") I want each of these elements to be repeated n times and the number of the repetition added as part of the element text, hence rep() will not work. For n=3 the result would be: v2 <- c("a_1", "a_2", "a_3", "b_1", "b_2", "b_3",
