[R] data frame output almost

[Randy Zelick]

Hello again,

I got three responses for help on the leading zero problem. Thank you.
Alas I still don't have it working. Here are more specifics:

I read in a data file like this:

participants<-read.table("C:/Work/blah-blah")

The data file consists of the fields last name, first name, social
security number, response score 1, response score 2 and so forth.

If in the console window I type "participants" I get something like:

     Jones  Norman  786123344 98.2 16.3
Flintstone    Fred  111457654 10.1  8.8
      Ugly    Butt   89733456 66.7 32.0

The problem is that the 3rd social security number is really "089733456"
and it needs to look like that.

None of the methods suggested seemed to work. I could make the social
security object alone print with leading zeros, but not as part of the
data frame.

Thanks again,
