R help - Sep 2008 - Newbie: Formatting numbers with commas

Hi,

Search through the R archives, and couldn't find my answer... how do
you format numbers with commas (standard American, one every three
digits)?

Thanks,
Matt

x <- c(123023,143494035);
> format(x, big.mark=",");
[1] "    123,023" "143,494,035"
> format(x, big.mark=",", trim=TRUE);
[1] "123,023"     "143,494,035"

See also ?prettyNum (and formatC).
