Answer 1

First make your string to a vector as follows.

cc<- str_split(cc,",")[[1]]

#Then use shQuote() to make each element of vector quoted string and then use paste() to make them comma separated.

print(paste(shQuote(cc), collapse=", "))

Answer 2

Do you mean this?

> cat(gsub("(\\w+)", "\"\\1\"", s), "\n")
"a","b","c","d"

Data

s <- "a,b,c,d"
