Hello A.K.,
Thanks! I use collapse instead of sep and get the answer.
Cheers,
Rebecca

?paste(colnames(dat2),collapse="+")
#[1] "aa+dummy1+dummy2+bb+cc"

Hello,
Is there a better way to use paste such as:
a = paste(colnames(list.indep)[1],colnames(list.indep)[2],colnames(list.indep)[3],colnames(list.indep)[4],colnames(list.indep)[5],sep="+")
a
[1] "aa+dummy1+dummy2+bb+cc"
I tried
a = paste(colnames(list.indep)[1:5],sep="+")
a
[1] "aa" "dummy1"? ? ? ? ? ? "dummy2"? ? ? ? ? ? ? "bb"? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? "cc"
But it will not give me the way I want.
Thanks,
Rebecca
