[R] change the default separator

[Gabor Grothendieck]

You could define your own function:

   paste0 <- function( ..., sep="" ) paste( ..., sep = sep )

which is used like this:

   > paste0("large","st")
   [1] "largest"

or perhaps you might want to define an infix operator to do
this:

   "%+%" <- function(x,y) paste(x,y,sep="")

which is used like this:

   > "large" %+% "st"
   [1] "largest"


It would be nice if a convenience wrapper such as paste0 were 
part of the base since I too find that I often use sep="" on 
paste.  Other areas of R such as ISOdate and table.csv are 
wrappers.

Hello,

How do I permanently change the separator in "paste" and "cat"
that by default is set to " " ?
(so that I dont have to say sep="" any time I use paste or cat)



regards, R. Alberts
