[R] delete repeated values in array

[arun]

Hi,

May be this helps:
rle(try)$values
#[1] 1 2 3 1 2 4


#or
 aggregate(try,list(cumsum(c(1,abs(diff(try))))),unique)[,2]
#[1] 1 2 3 1 2 4
#or
res<-tapply(try,cumsum(c(1,abs(diff(try)))),head,1)
attr(res,"dimnames")<-NULL
 res
#[1] 1 2 3 1 2 4


A.K.


I am trying to delete repeated values in an array. 

try <- c(1,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3,1,1,1,2,2,4,4,4) 

what I want back is: 

1 2 3 1 2 4 

so unique() doesn't work for my purposes as it would give me: 
1 2 3 4
