I'd like to pick every imbricated five character long subsets from a 
vector. I guess there is some efficient way to do this without loops...
Here is a for-loop-version and a model for output:

VECTOR=c(1,4,2,6,5,0,11,10,4,3,6,8,6);

ADDRESSES=c();
for(i in 1:(length(VECTOR)-4)){
        ADDRESSES[i]=paste(VECTOR[i:(i+4)],collapse="") 
}

 > ADDRESSES
[1] "14265"   "42650"   "265011"  "6501110" "5011104" "0111043" 
"1110436" "104368"
[9] "43686"
