R help - Dec 2004 - Farmating printed Numbers and Text

Hello,

is there any function to print (using "cat" or "print" etc.)
a table of
values row per row in a exact order, even if the value has 3 digit and in
the next row eg. 5 digits? This means I want to print a number with 3 digits
with 2 spaces in front and a number with 4 digits only with one space in
front.

regards Andreas

Well..., since no one has responded, try ?format

Or ?formatC, e.g.
> tmp <- c(1,10,100,1000,10000)
> formatC(tmp, digits=4, format="d")
[1] "    1" "   10" "  100" " 1000"
"10000"
> sapply(tmp, function(x){sprintf("%5.0f", as.double(x))})
[1] "    1" "   10" "  100" " 1000"
"10000"
