R help - Jun 2003 - sprintf("%c",...)

How does one get the character that corresponds to a number?  Also
the inverse?

The %c format code is not supported by the R sprintf function and I
could not find another way to do it.

The ASCII character table:

ascii <- sapply(1:255, function(i)
   parse(text=paste("\"\\", structure(i, class =
"octmode"), "\"",
     sep = ""))[[1]])
