Hi,

Others on this list have happily commented that there
exists printf and/or sprintf in R.  I can't find it.
help(sprintf) and help.search("sprintf") come up
empty!
Is it in some non-standard package?

Thanks!

On what platform/R-version?

on R-1.8.1 for Windows I get:

help.search("sprintf")

sprintf(base)           Use C-style String Formatting Commands
capture(gregmisc)       Capture printed output of an R expression in a
                        string
So "sprintf" is in the base package.
