R help - Jan 2008 - Printing large number

Dear R users,

Just a quick question, how do I prevent 100000 printed as 1e+05 when I
print it into a file?

Thanks,
Alex

?options
You would be interested in "scipen" and/or "digits".

# # Set digits display options
options(digits = 4)
options(scipen = 6)

Liviu

There is more than one way, but probably the easiest is to set
options(scipen= <some big number>).  See ?options for details.

Hope this helps,
