r - How to concatenate strings in a specified order

Answer


Answer




Tried to concatenate strings diagonally from this post how to alternatively concatenate 3 strings, but was not successful.



My input is:




a<-c("a1","a2","a3")
b<-c("b1","b2","b3")
c<-c("c1","c2","c3")


My expected output would be



   "a1" "b2" "c3" "a2" "b3" "a3"



How to get the above from



  c(rbind(a,b,c))  

Answer



How about ordering the vector by values derived by the row and columns after setting the lower diagonal to missing



mat <- rbind(a,b,c)

mat[lower.tri(mat)] <- NA

na.omit(mat[order(col(mat) - row(mat))])
