How to paste like cat in R

Question

I have vector A = c('a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'), and I want to glue all of these. Like, 'abcde'.

 paste(A)

Didn't work.

 cat(A)

worked, but cat is not a vector making function, rather just for printing. I mean, I can't use cat() like

 A<-cat(A)

this way. Neither

 A<- as.factor(cat(A))

What should I do?

Simply:

[1] "abcde"
