hello, Please help with using sprintf with character variables: The following does not produce what i intended
foot=function(){ str1=format(Sys.Date,"%Y%m%d") sprintf("99%-4s%s","nm",str1) } I wanted to have "99nm 20071002" as the output. ______________________________________________ R-help@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.
