Hello,
Is there a way to set the maximum width of character columns when printing a
data frame?
I've looked into print(), format(), and options() and have been unsuccessful.
For example, I'd like to achieve the results below without having to modify the
data itself.
> x <- data.frame(c1=rnorm(5), c2="ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ")
> x
c1 c2
1 0.7076495 ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
2 -0.1572245 ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
3 0.3515308 ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
4 0.3492925 ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
5 -0.3805869 ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
> x$c2 <- substr(x$c2, 1, 10) #Only show first 10 chars.
> x
c1 c2
1 0.7076495 ABCDEFGHIJ
2 -0.1572245 ABCDEFGHIJ
3 0.3515308 ABCDEFGHIJ
4 0.3492925 ABCDEFGHIJ
5 -0.3805869 ABCDEFGHIJ
Thanks,
Mauricio
