[R] cut a vector in equal parts

2013-02-26 Thread Martin Batholdy
Hi, I would like to cut a vector of values in parts. Each part should have an equal number of elements. for example: x <- (rnorm(500)^2) now I want 5 vectors each with 100 elements. The first vector should include the 100 lowest values of x and so on (so that the fifth vector contains the 100 h
