R help - Jun 2009 - Convert NA to '.'

Dear R-users,

For reporting purpose (using Sweave and LaTeX), I am creating complex tables
with the cat function such as
> x<-c("A", "B", "C", NA)
> cat(x, '\n')
A B C NA

For convenience, I would like to change all my NA value to something else
like '.' (as in SAS for example). Is there a global option which allows
this
change? Or should I change all my code to work with the print function and
the na.print argument?

Best regards,
David

Dear David,
Try this:

x <- c("A", "B", "C", NA)
x[is.na(x)] <- "."
x

HTH,

Jorge
