paste2: Paste an Unspecified Number Of Text Columns

In trinker/qdap2: Bridging the gap between qualitative data and quantitative analysis

Description

Paste unspecified columns or a list of vectors together.

Usage

  paste2(multi.columns, sep = ".", handle.na = TRUE,
    trim = TRUE)

Arguments

multi.columns	The multiple columns or a list of vectors to paste together.
sep	A character string to separate the terms.
handle.na	logical. If TRUE returns NA if any column/vector contains a missing value.
trim	logical. If TRUE leading/trailing white space is removed.

Value

Returns a vector with row-wise elements pasted together.

Note

paste differs from paste2 because paste does not allowed an unspecified number of columns to be pasted. This behavior can be convenient for inside of functions when the number of columns being pasted is unknown.
