[R] Reduce(paste, x) question

[Sarah Goslee]

What is "this"? A matrix with two columns? A data frame? You did an
excellent job of providing data to reproduce your attempt so far;
thank you. But I'm not sure what you want as result. But maybe one of
these two things?

> data.frame(x, stringsAsFactors=FALSE)
  c..A....B....C....D....E.. c..K....L....M....N....O..
1                          A                          K
2                          B                          L
3                          C                          M
4                          D                          N
5                          E                          O

> matrix(unlist(x), ncol=2)
     [,1] [,2]
[1,] "A"  "K"
[2,] "B"  "L"
[3,] "C"  "M"
[4,] "D"  "N"
[5,] "E"  "O"
