[R] inconsistency in display of character vector....

[akshay kulkarni]

dear members,
                             I've gone through debug(update.snlcqn)  (update.snlcqn is the above function) and  I think the problem lies in read_excel returning a tibble...any suggestions on how to convert it to a regular data frame? Any other packages that read xls files as a regular data frame?

Very many thanks for your time and effort....
Yours sincerely,
AKSHAY M KULKARNI

Why not just always return snicqna ?

Hi

You definitely should not use HTML formated mail. This is plain text mailing list for reason.

If you experience space between "NSE/" and pasted second part, you should read paste help page which states

paste (..., sep = " ", collapse = NULL)

so it has space as separator.

You should use paste0 if you want to get rid of separating space or axplicitely state
paste (..., sep = "")

[10] "NSE/j"
