Hi there, I have a numeric vector let say:
Vect <- c(12.234, 234.5675, 1.5)
Now I want a string vector like:
changedVec <- c("012.234", "234.568",
"001.500")
Would be grateful if somebody help me how can I do that.
Thanks and regards,

Is this what you want:> Vect <- c(12.234, 234.5675, 1.5) > sprintf("%07.3f", Vect)[1] "012.234" "234.567" "001.500">On Sun, Feb 13, 2011 at 10:43 AM, Bogaso Christofer <bogaso.christofer at gmail.com> wrote:> Hi there, I have a numeric vector let say: > > > > Vect <- c(12.234, 234.5675, 1.5) > > > > Now I want a string vector like: > > > > changedVec <- c("012.234", "234.568", "001.500") > > > > Would be grateful if somebody help me how can I do that. > > > > Thanks and regards, > > > ? ? ? ?[[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > ______________________________________________ > R-help at r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. >-- Jim Holtman Data Munger Guru What is the problem that you are trying to solve?

just using as.character does not add the leading/trailing zeros:> Vect <- c(12.234, 234.5675, 1.5) > as.character(Vect)[1] "12.234" "234.5675" "1.5">On Sun, Feb 13, 2011 at 12:04 PM, Sascha Vieweg <saschaview at gmail.com> wrote:> On 11-02-13 10:48, David Winsemius wrote: > >> On Feb 13, 2011, at 10:43 AM, Bogaso Christofer wrote: >> >>> ?Hi there, I have a numeric vector let say: >>> >>> ?Vect <- c(12.234, 234.5675, 1.5) >>> >>> ?Now I want a string vector like: >>> >>> ?changedVec <- c("012.234", "234.568", "001.500") >>> >> >> ?sprintf > > Just for my own understanding: Why not > > as.character(Vect) > > ? > > > -- > Sascha Vieweg, saschaview at gmail.com > > ______________________________________________ > R-help at r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. >-- Jim Holtman Data Munger Guru What is the problem that you are trying to solve?
