Formatting numbers for printing
...would like to format them as follows: 012-012, i.e., the first two
digits padded to the left by a zero, followed by a dash, followed by
the final three digits, also padded to the left by zeros.
I can do this with brute force:
FirstPart <- sprintf("%03d", floor(Number / 1000))
SecondPart <- sprintf("%03d", WhichID %% 1000)
Combined <- paste(FirstPart, "-", SecondPart, sep="")
But, I suspect that there is some more clever means to accomplish
this using formatC or sprintf. Unfortunately, the help pages don't
provide sufficient insight....
