Hi, I am using R 1.5.1 under Windows 2000. I have a problem with the function toString: It seems not to work for longer vectors as expressions. This example works well: q1<-expression(c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15)) toString(q1) I get: "c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)" => OK But this one does not: q2<-expression(c(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19)) toString(q2) I get: "c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, " => WRONG R cuts my vectors if they are too long. Can someone help me about this?

problem with toString
2 messages · Tobias Elze, Brian Ripley
Why are you using toString? The main purpose of toString is to get truncate the character representation of objects: otherwise as.character would suffice. The problem you are seeing is in as.character:
as.character(q2)
[1] "c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, " and it comes from the cutoff value of 60 in deparse. I would use tmp <- deparse(q2, 500) substring(tmp, 12, nchar(tmp)-1)
