> gettext.df
 gettext
 1 hello,
 2 Good to hear back from you.
 3 I\'ve curre         


        

Answer 1

You have to transform the data frame column into a character vector before using paste.

paste(unlist(gettext.df), collapse =" ")

This returns:

[1] "hello, Good to hear back from you. I've currently written an application and I'm happy about it"
