R help - Nov 2010 - replaing 1-digit months with 2-digit months in a date

Hello again!

Sorry, if it's a simple question - I am very bad in working with strings.

I have a vector of strings:
x<-c("2000.1","2000.2","2000.10","2000.12")

I'd like to change it so that it the month always has 2 digits, like this:

"2000.01","2000.02","2000.10","2000.12"


Is it possible?
Thanks a lot!

Try this:

gsub("\\.(\\d{1}$)", ".0\\1", x)
