[R] cannot coerce class '"rle"' into a data.frame

[arun]

Hi,

vec1<-c(1,2,3,4,4,5,6)
 str(rle(vec1))
#List of 2
# $ lengths: int [1:6] 1 1 1 2 1 1
# $ values : num [1:6] 1 2 3 4 5 6
 #- attr(*, "class")= chr "rle"
do.call(data.frame,rle(vec1))
 # lengths values
#1       1      1
#2       1      2
#3       1      3
#4       2      4
#5       1      5
#6       1      6
A.K.

Subject: [R] cannot coerce class '"rle"' into a data.frame

why?

> rle
Run Length Encoding
  lengths: int [1:1650061] 2 2 8 2 4 5 6 3 26 46 ...
  values : chr [1:1650061] "4bbf9e94cbceb70c BG bg" "4fbbf2c67e0fb867 SK sk" ...
> as.data.frame(rle)
Error in as.data.frame.default(vertices.rle) : 
  cannot coerce class '"rle"' into a data.frame

it seems that

rle.df <- data.frame(values=rle$values,length=rle$length)

works and DTRT.
