listing all occurrences in a vector

Dear all,

I have a dataframe with two columns, where NUMBER is the number of occurrences of DEPTH: 

  DEPTH NUMBER
1     2      1
2     3      2
3     2      3
4     5      1
a<-data.frame(c(2,3,2,5),c(1,2,3,1))
colnames(a)=c("DEPTH","NUMBER")
I want a column or a vector where all the DEPTHs are listed: 2, 3, 3, 2, 2, 2, 5 (NUMBER=1 in all cases). 

Is there any simple solution to the problem?

Thanks,
Jonas

Hi,

Use the rep function:

with(a, rep(DEPTH, times = NUMBER))

cheers,
Paul

with(a,rep(DEPTH,NUMBER))
