Dear all
How does one convert a "non-symmetric" list to a vector? See below:
x<- list()
x[[1]]<- letters[1:5]
x[[2]]<- letters[6:10]
x[[3]]<- letters[11:12]
x
[[1]]
[1] "a" "b" "c" "d" "e"
[[2]]
[1] "f" "g" "h" "i" "j"
[[3]]
[1] "k" "l"
paste(x)
[1] "c(\"a\", \"b\", \"c\", \"d\", \"e\")" "c(\"f\", \"g\", \"h\",
\"i\", \"j\")"
[3] "c(\"k\", \"l\")"
as.vector(x)
[[1]]
[1] "a" "b" "c" "d" "e"
[[2]]
[1] "f" "g" "h" "i" "j"
[[3]]
[1] "k" "l"
simplify2array(x)
[[1]]
[1] "a" "b" "c" "d" "e"
[[2]]
[1] "f" "g" "h" "i" "j"
[[3]]
[1] "k" "l"
What I would need to get instead is:
letters[1:12]
[1] "a" "b" "c" "d" "e" "f" "g" "h" "i" "j" "k" "l"
Any ideas? Regards
Liviu
