In R: Joining vector elements by row, converting vector rows to strings

Question

Is there a \"by row\" operation in R to convert each row in a vector like this to strings?

> d= cbind(\"Data\", c(\"2\", \"73\"))
> d
     [,1]   [,2]
         


        

Answer 1

After a quick glace at ?paste, it's clear that apply isn't needed for the example given. It would be handy if there are several columns though.

> paste(d[,1],d[,2])
[1] "Data 2"  "Data 73"
