Hello again,
Let say I have following string:
Vec <- c("sada", "asdsa", "sa")
Now I want to make each element of this vector with equal length.
Basically I want following vector:
c("sada ", "asdsa", "sa ")
Therefore we can get:
nchar(c("sada ", "asdsa", "sa "))
[1] 5 5 5 Is there any possiblity that we can do it programetically? Because I need to handle a really big vector. Thanks for your help.
?format will by default, left justify and pad with spaces to the longest length element in the character vector:
Vec <- c("sada", "asdsa", "sa")
format(Vec)
[1] "sada " "asdsa" "sa " Regards, Marc Schwartz
