I stumbled across this by accident from this StackOverflow question: http://stackoverflow.com/q/10300325/324364
and a subsequent discussion in the StackOverflow R chat room: http://chat.stackoverflow.com/transcript/message/3431991#3431991 The issue is the output from the following code: sprintf('%05s',as.character(1:5)) It appears that when this is run in OS X in either 2.14.2 or 2.15.0, the output is: [1] "00001" "00002" "00003" "00004" "00005" whereas when it is run on other platforms (I saw examples from various Windows versions and one user on Ubuntu, all using 2.15.0 I believe) you get: [1] " 1" " 2" " 3" " 4" " 5" There was some uncertainty as to which behavior is "expected". Does anyone have any insight into which behavior is "correct" and whether this is a bug or not? - Joran [[alternative HTML version deleted]] _______________________________________________ R-SIG-Mac mailing list [email protected] https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-mac
