Subject: converting numeric into character strings
Hi,
Im trying to put some numbers into a dataframe , I have a list of numbers
(change points in a time series) like such
[1] 2 11 12 20 21 98 99
but I want R to recognise this as just a character string so it will put it
in one row and column, ideally I want them seperated by commas so I would
have for example
Person Change points (seconds)
A 2,11,12,20,21,98,99
B 4,5,89
etc. Is there any way I can get this
I've tried this:
for example if the command to get the list of numbers was b<-which(a!=s),
then i have tried
as.character(b) but I just end up with
[1] "2" "11" "12" "20" "21" "98" "99"
which is not what I want as this is more than one string and is not
seperated by commas, I also tried
paste(b,sep=",") but I end up with the same thing. Sorry it's a bit
confusing to read but any help would be great!
Melissa
