[R] select integer intervals from a integer space

[Mao Jianfeng]

Dear Gene,

Thanks a lot for your kindness.

> isp
> ints = apply(isp, 1, function(x)seq(x[1],x[2]))
> ints
> ints = do.call(c, ints)
> ints
> ## option to fix if the regions are overlapping
> ## and you don't want overlapping regions resampled

I learned much from your code, such as the function do.call(). Could
you please give me more helps on finding ways to sample consecutive
integer interval?

And you may reply me through here
(http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8413990/selecting-integer-intervals-with-specific-intra-inter-length-from-random-integer/8421698#8421698).
This question have attracted several responses, but still now no
answer came out.

I am still struggling with it.

Best wishes,
Jian-Feng,
