Dennis,
If I understand you correctly (your example does not point unambiguously
to one unique solution...)
you could try:
dummy<- c('ac','ac','c','ac','ac','c')
dummy.rle<-rle(dummy)
result <- paste(dummy.rle$values,dummy.rle$lengths,collapse='_',sep='')
You may need to remove the '1' in dummy.rle$lengths to get exactly what
you wanted.
