None of those functions convert 'characters' to a single string! What actually are you trying to convert? I guess the issue is the maximum line length in deparsing. You can almost always just paste multiple lines together, and this is done for formulae at several places in the R codebase. > I saw a previous post where Prof. Ripley suggested that it was a > "trivial" change in the R internals to change as.character's limit from 60 > to 500, but I was hoping for something that didn't involve me trying to > alter the R internals.
