Is there any way to turn a column into a string?

Question

For example, if I have a data set

data.frame(x = c("a","b","a","b","c"))

how can I get a output = a,b,a,b,c in a list or text.

paste(data_frame,collapse=",") will collapse the column into a single string.

Hi, if I build a dataset not a list, I get the output:`xx <- data_frame(x = c("a","b","a","b","c")) paste(xx,collapse=",")`, `[1] "c(\"a\", \"b\", \"a\", \"b\", \"c\")"`, How can I fix this `\`? – Jia Jia Sep 18 '17 at 06:00
