paste(x,collapse="
") doesn't work? (R code)

Question

Hope someone can help me understand this basic anomaly of line separation: ``` a<-c("a","b","c") a # [1] "a" "b" "c" paste(a,collapse="
") # [1] "a
b
c" ``` basically, I have a data frame like: ``` a b 1 6 228 2 10 148 3 20 124 4 34 165 5 100 165 6 200 165 7 310 165 ``` and I use `paste(data_frame_name$b,collapse= "
")`, but I get ``` [1] "228
148
124
165
165
165
165" ``` What can be the problem? Thanks.

Accepted Answer

I think you're looking for `cat`:

```
cat(paste(a,collapse="
"))
a
b
c
```

`print` is called to print an object when you type its name:

```
print(paste(a,collapse="
"))
[1] "a
b
c"
```

paste(x,collapse="\n") doesn't work? (R code)
