R help - Mar 2004 - formated output

Hi all;
I need to create ASCII files as output from R and I'm using sink(), cat(), 
and paste() for this.
My problem is that the ASCII files hace several columns, and I would like to 
know if intermediate columns (the second one for example) could be alineated 
to the right. My values are integer ranging from 1 to 1000.

Thanks a lot.

Best regards,

Javier

You want to look at the formatC function together with paste to build
up the lines you want.  For example,
> x <- sample(200,5)
> y <- sample(200,5)
> cat(paste(formatC(x, width=5), formatC(y, width=5)), sep='\n')
   84    36
  159    64
   55    78
   59    51
  132   107

Javier,

You can do that with "write.table".

Carlos.
