Generate vector of a repeated string with incremental suffix number
An alternative to paste
is sprintf
, which can be a bit more convenient if, for instance, you wanted to "pad" your digits with leading zeroes.
Here's an example:
sprintf("Fst%d", 1:10) ## No padding
# [1] "Fst1" "Fst2" "Fst3" "Fst4" "Fst5"
# [6] "Fst6" "Fst7" "Fst8" "Fst9" "Fst10"
sprintf("Fst%02d", 1:10) ## Pads anything less than two digits with zero
# [1] "Fst01" "Fst02" "Fst03" "Fst04" "Fst05"
# [6] "Fst06" "Fst07" "Fst08" "Fst09" "Fst10"
So, for your question, you would be looking at:
sprintf("Fst%d", 1:100) ## or sprintf("Fst%03d", 1:100)
You can use the paste function to create a vector that combines a set character string with incremented numbers: paste0('Fst', 1:100)
