Dear R-users, I'd like to create filenames in a mask "file000.dat" numbered from 1 to e.g. 123. The last problem I'm dealing with is creating the sequence of numbers with equal length, i.e. 001, 002,.... 023, 024,.... 122, 123.
The closest I got is by a repetition: Sequence <- c(1:123) for(i in c(1:length(Sequence))) { print( paste(rep("0", max(nchar(as.character(Sequence)))-nchar(as.character(Sequence[i]))), as.character(Sequence[i]), sep="")) } where pasting "0"-replication the missing-times I 'm possibly creating the desired output. It's just that rep()'s output is not a vector and not subsequent atoms. and gives "02" and "02" instead of "002". Any idea hot to correct the function above or suggestions on file000.dat-mask filename, please? Thank you for your time.
