[R] reverse string

[Martyn Byng]

Hi,

I've no idea if there is a function for doing it, but if not, the
following seems to work

a = "this is a string"
paste(rev(substring(a,1:nchar(a),1:nchar(a))),collapse="")

Dear all,

Are there any functions in R to reverse the order of the string.
smth like reverse("abc") to get "cba"?

Thanks a lot.
