Hello, I have
srv <- Surv(sample(1:10), sample(0:1, 10, replace = TRUE)) srv [1] 1 10 2+ 8 6+ 7+ 3 5+ 4+ 9+ srv.char <- as.character(srv) srv.char [1] " 1 " "10 " " 2+" " 8 " " 6+" " 7+" " 3 " " 5+" " 4+" " 9+" Is there an inverse to as.character(srv). That is, I would like identical(srv, ???(srv.char)) to return TRUE, where ??? is some unknown function. I don't think it exists, but maybe I'm wrong. I suppose it would be easy enough to roll my own... Thanks!
