Folks:
Say I have a matrix:
test=matrix(c(1,2,3),nrow=10,ncol=3)
I would like to have an output character vector where each line is
row's values delimited by commas, e.g.:
"1,2,3"
"2,3,1"
"3,1,2"
...
"1,2,3"
What is the fastest way of doing this? I can paste() row-by-row but
this seems an inefficient approach to doing this. Thanks! I'm not
asking how to write a CSV file, mind you, I want the array as an R
data.frame or vector.
