Is there a built-in function in either slam package or Matrix package to convert a sparse matrix in simple triplet matrix form (from slam package) to a sparse matrix in dgTMatrix/dgCMatrix form (from Matrix package) ?
And is there a built-in way to access non-zero entries from simple triplet matrix ?
I'm working in R

Actually, there is a built-in way:
simple_triplet_matrix_sparse
dims=c(simple_triplet_matrix_sparse$nrow, simple_triplet_matrix_sparse$ncol))
From my own experience, this trick saved me tons of time and miseries, and computer crashing doing large-scale text mining using tm package. This question doesn't really need a reproducible example. A simple triplet matrix is a simple triplet matrix no matter what data it contains. This question is merely asking if there's a built-in function in either package to support conversion between the two.
