If I have a vector of site abbreviations and a vector of depths in those water bodies, is there a simple way in R to combine them to make a third vector?
Examples:
site depth desired
MU 0 MU0
MU 1 MU1
MU 2 MU2
MC 0 MC0
MC 1 MC1
MC 2 MC2
The dataset has many more lines than this. I can see how to do this with lots of if statements, but does R have magic that can make it happen easily? I guess this would be called concatenation.

How about paste?
site <- c('MU','MU','MU','MC','MC','MC')depth <-
c(0,1,2,0,1,2)paste(site, depth, sep="")
result:
[1] "MU0" "MU1" "MU2" "MC0" "MC1" "MC2"

... or simply

See ?paste for other useful options.
