[R] Creating/Concatenate Strings into another String

[Gundala Viswanath]

Is there a way to do it?

For example I tried this:

args<-commandArgs()
fname <- args[6]."-".args[9]

# then I would like to create a file
# using the above created name

postscript(filename=fname)
dev.off()

But that concatenation doesn't seem to do it.

This would work under Perl :)

Look for details: ?paste

Try this:

fname <- paste(args[6], ".", args[9], sep="")
