R: String representation of an event sequence object

str.eseq {TraMineR} | R Documentation

## String representation of an event sequence object

### Description

Return a string representation of an event sequence object. Works on event sequences as well as on subsequences. This is an overriding of the usual corresponding functions (`str` and `as.character`)

### Details

The string have the following form: time-(e1,e2,...)-elapsedtime-(e2,...)... Where time is the time elapsed from previous set of events and (e1,e2,...) a non empty list of simultaneous events. The function also works on list. Use `str.seqelist` to get a single string for a whole list, and `as.character.seqelist` to get a vector of strings. `str.eseq` and `as.character.eseq` have mainly an internal purpose (they are called by print methods for example).
