Can you help me to use Sys.setlocale("LC_NUMERIC", "cs_CZ") (comma as a decimal point) in some useful way, without all the workarounds?

...and I can see no difficulty in allowing the same conversions when parsing as when coercing. This would have the side effect that 100 would be integer (but the coercion rules would come into play) but 200000000000000000 would be double. And x <-0xce80 would be valid. 3) We do allow setting LC_NUMERIC, but it partially breaks R if the decimal point is not ".". (I know of no locale in which it is not "." or ",", and we cannot allow "," as part of numeric constants when parsing.) E.g.: > Sys.setlocale("LC_NUMERIC", "fr_FR") [1] &q...

Dear all, summary: My LC_NUMERIC is changed from C to de_DE by library (qtbase). [which shouldn't happen according to the warning when setting it back manually]. I posted an issue at their github repository, but maybe the behaviour is a bit more of general interest. However, if LC_NUMERIC is changed, as.character () uses the...

Hi, Does anyone know how one could format numbers using 1000 separator in R? For example, format 1000 as 1,000 and 100000 as 100,000, etc. Thanks, -- Tom [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
