R help - Jun 2008 - converting numbers to characters

Hi,
I need to convert numbers to characters in order
to index an array when I encountered the number
100000 which turned into "1e+05". 
Does anyone know how to get around this problem?

Hi Lana,

I think it could help you (following the answer by Paulo Justiniano on last
week)
x<-1e+05
x
as.character(x)

options(scipen=1)
x<-1e+05
x
as.character(x)


?options

Kind regards,
