[R] How to create a vector with "one", "two", "three", ...?

[Marc Schwartz]

I may be wrong, but I am unaware of anyone that has created a number to
text function in R.

If you search Google:

http://www.google.com/search?q=numbers+into+words

There are various program examples, from VB to JavaScript to PHP, etc.

It shouldn't be too hard to convert one of them to R. Most have fairly
common constructs in terms of parsing and converting the numbers. Some
of them handle decimals and currency formats as well.

HTH,
