[R] Variables in a Tabular form. easily saved in a txt file

[Eik Vettorazzi]

Hi Alex,

sprintf with left alignment might be a start:

cat(sprintf("%-7s| %-12d|
%-5d",paste("City",1:3,sep=""),(12345)%/%10^c(1:3),c(2,5,54433)),sep="\n")
#cat has also a file option, see ?cat.

but acutally your given output doesn't look like a conventional table
but much more like this:
cat(sprintf(paste("%-7s| %-",12:14,"d|
%-5d",sep=""),paste("City",1:3,sep=""),(12345)%/%10^c(1:3),c(2,5,54433)),sep="\n")

cheers.
