[R] inadequacy in as.integer....

[akshay kulkarni]

Dear Tim,
                  So there is no way to coerce "09098" to 09098?

Yours sincerely,
AKSHAY M KULKARNI

Dear members,
                             I came across this queer thing during my analysis:
> as.integer("09098")


Any idea on how to retain the "0"?

Yours sincerely,
AKSHAY M KULKARNI
