(Using a fairly recent version of R)
Either use as.table() and use the print() method for "table"
explicitly, or,
if you are really working with sparse matrices, use the 'Matrix'
package:
> set.seed(1); m <- matrix(rpois(80, lambda=.8), 8,10);m
[,1] [,2] [,3] [,4] [,5] [,6] [,7] [,8] [,9] [,10]
[1,] 0 1 1 0 1 2 1 0 1 0
[2,] 0 0 4 0 0 1 1 1 0 0
[3,] 1 0 0 0 2 1 1 1 1 1
[4,] 2 0 1 0 1 1 2 0 1 2
[5,] 0 1 2 2 1 1 0 2 0 2
[6,] 2 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 2 0
[7,] 2 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 1
[8,] 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 2 3> print(as.table(m), zero = ".")
