paste - R: collapse a vector by two elements -

-

i have vector, e.g. sdata = c('a', 'b', 'c', 'd'). 

sdata [1] "a" "b" "c" "d"

how can collapse 2 (or more if needed) elements following output?

desiredoutput  [1] "a b" "b c" "c d"

thanks!

edit: real sample data:

sdata = list(c("salmon", "flt", "atl", "farm", "wild", "per", "lb", "or",  "fam", "pk"), c("vit", "min", "adult", "eye", "visit", "our",  "pharmacy", "we", "accept", "express", "script", "offer", "val",  "mathing", "pricing", "fast", "conv", "service"), c("ct", "gal",  "or", "drawstring", "odor", "shield", "twist", "tie", "lawn",  "leaf", "in", "plumber", "brush"))   sdata [[1]]  [1] "salmon" "flt"    "atl"    "farm"   "wild"   "per"    "lb"     "or"     "fam"    "pk"      [[2]]  [1] "vit"      "min"      "adult"    "eye"      "visit"    "our"      "pharmacy" "we"       "accept"   "express"  "script"   [12] "offer"    "val"      "mathing"  "pricing"  "fast"     "conv"     "service"   [[3]]  [1] "ct"         "gal"        "or"         "drawstring" "odor"       "shield"     "twist"      "tie"        "lawn"       [10] "leaf"       "in"         "plumber"    "brush"

we can remove last , first element of 'sdata' , paste vectors same length.

 paste(sdata[-length(sdata)], sdata[-1])  #[1] "a b" "b c" "c d"

this can written as

 paste(head(sdata,-1), tail(sdata,-1))  #[1] "a b" "b c" "c d"

update

based on new 'sdata' (in list), use lapply loop on list elements , use same code

lapply(sdata, function(x) paste(head(x,-1), tail(x,-1))) #[[1]] #[1] "salmon flt" "flt atl"    "atl farm"   "farm wild"  "wild per"   #[6] "per lb"     "lb or"      "or fam"     "fam pk"      #[[2]] # [1] "vit min"         "min adult"       "adult eye"       "eye visit"       # [5] "visit our"       "our pharmacy"    "pharmacy we"     "we accept"       # [9] "accept express"  "express script"  "script offer"    "offer val"       #[13] "val mathing"     "mathing pricing" "pricing fast"    "fast conv"       #[17] "conv service"     #[[3]] # [1] "ct gal"          "gal or"          "or drawstring"   "drawstring odor" # [5] "odor shield"     "shield twist"    "twist tie"       "tie lawn"        # [9] "lawn leaf"       "leaf in"         "in plumber"      "plumber brush"

or without using anonymous function can paste map after removing first , last list elements in sdata

  map(paste, lapply(sdata, head, -1), lapply(sdata, tail, -1))
