[R] Insert value in a Vector Alternately

[jim holtman]

How about this:

> dat<-c(0.00377467,0.00377467,0.00377467,0.00380083,0.00380083,0.00380083,0.00380959,
+ 0.00380959,0.00380959,0.00380083,0.00380083,0.00380083)
> dat[seq(1, by=3, to=length(dat))] <- 0
> dat
 [1] 0.00000000 0.00377467 0.00377467 0.00000000 0.00380083 0.00380083
0.00000000 0.00380959 0.00380959 0.00000000 0.00380083
[12] 0.00380083
