I want to convert numbers to strings like: > inputs= c(0.3+0*(1:12) ) > (format(inputs,digits=3,scientific=T,collapse=" ")) and it works [1] "3e-01" "3e-01" "3e-01" "3e-01" "3e-01" "3e-01" "3e-01" "3e-01" "3e-01" [10] "3e-01" "3e-01" "3e-01" if I use different numbers it does not: > C <- c(840,1000,1000,1000) > R <- c(860,2500,2500,2000) > L <- c(0.23,1,1,1.1) > T <- c(0.2,0.2,0.3,0.175) > I <- c(0.05,0.1,0.14,0.18) > inputs <- cbind(C,R,L,T,I) If I try the same format command, it does not: > (format(c(inputs[1,]),digits=3, scientific=T)) Error in prettyNum(.Internal(format(x, trim, digits, nsmall, width, 3, : invalid 'scientific' argument Only if I change scientific to NA > (format(c(inputs[1,]),digits=3, scientific=NA)) remark (not important for the problem): but I need scientific because sometimes the strings get to long otherwise Now if I am trying the same thing as at the beginning it doesn't work anymore > inputs= c(0.3+0*(1:12) ) > (format(inputs,digits=3,scientific=T,collapse=" ")) Error in prettyNum(.Internal(format(x, trim, digits, nsmall, width, 3, : invalid 'scientific' argument This looks like some problem in .Internal(format, ...) to me!? if I remove everything from my environment > rm(list=ls(all=T)) > > inputs= c(0.3+0*(1:12) ) > (format(inputs,digits=3,scientific=T,collapse=" ")) [1] "3e-01" "3e-01" "3e-01" "3e-01" "3e-01" "3e-01" "3e-01" "3e-01" "3e-01" [10] "3e-01" "3e-01" "3e-01" > it works again! rm(list=ls(all=T)) inputs= c(0.3+0*(1:12) ) (format(inputs,digits=3,scientific=T,collapse=" ")) ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
