You could define your own seq function and operator: R> "%:%" <- seq.character <- function(x,y) letters[letters >= x & letters <= y] R> seq("a", "d") [1] "a" "b" "c" "d" R> "a" %:% "d" [1] "a" "b" "c" "d" ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
