Hello R-helpers,

I have a problem with formatting a single number to show leading zeros. For example, I want "2" displayed as "002".

My numbers have 1 to 3 digits and I would like them all to display 3 digits for printing. I know I could use "paste" in a loop with several "if"s, but I was wondering if there is a single function that can do this.

I have tried "format", "prettyNum" and "formatC" back and forth, but these functions don't seem to be able to display leading zeros. Please help.
