| int2char {VLMC} | R Documentation |
Simple conversion utilities for character to integer conversion and vice versa.
int2char(i, alpha) char2int(x, alpha)
i |
integer vectors, typically in 0:m when alpha
has m + 1 letters. |
alpha |
character string with several letters, representing the alphabet. |
x |
character string, typically with letters from alpha. |
int2char() gives a string (length 1 character) with as many
characters as length(i), by 0-indexing into the alphabet
alpha.
char2int() gives an integer vector of length nchar(x)
of integer codes according to alpha (starting at 0 !).
int2alpha() (which is used by int2char)
and its inverse, int2alpha(), both working with vectors
of single characters instead of multi-character strings.
char2int("vlmc", paste(letters, collapse=""))
int2char(c(0:3, 3:1), "abcd")
int2char(c(1:0,3,3), "abc") # to eat ;-)
