Greetings!
I have a 127 long vector with all different character entries. I
need to generate another vector that is 6 times a long and the second
one and has the following structure:
NA
"foo"
"a unique string"
NA
"bar"
"blah"
NA
"foo"
"another unique string"
NA
"bar"
"blah"
.....
This has to be repeated 127 times, so that I have out of 6 entries the
first 2 and last 3 the same and at the 3rd position each of the unique
strings from the original character vector.
I suppose this is possible in R, but I am at a loss of how to do so.
I suppose a loop with and index using multiples of 6, but I am not
sure.
Thanks,
Henri-Paul
