Of course, that means you'll be storing this number as a character, but
if you're looking to format how the number is printed, that's probably
what you want.

Subject: [R] number formatting
Dear R People:
I have used the command round(x,3) to produce values with 3 places to
the
right of the decimal.
Is there any command to remove the leading zero before the decimal
point,
please: that is, if I have 0.375, how do I produce just .375, please?
Thanks in advance
R 2.0.1 for Windows
Sincerely,
Laura Holt
