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

[akshay kulkarni]

Dear Andrew,
                         THanks for the reply. I am using a integer in a switch statement which has leading zeroes. So I have to coerce it to a character with leading zeroes to compare it. But I think now that I can make do with just the character value. Thanks anyways...

Yours sincerely
AKSHAY M KULKARNI

What you're asking for doesn't make sense: 9098 and 09098 are the same

9098L == 09098L

If you mean specifically while printing, you could use sprintf:

cat(sprintf("%05d", 9098))

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

Yours sincerely,

Keep as character.

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
