[R] sprintf

[J.M. Breiwick]

Hi,

I want to use sprintf with vectors whose lengths vary.
As an example: x = c(2,4,6,10)
sprintf("%i%5f%5f%5f",x[1],x[2],x[3],x[4]) works. But if I have to compute 
the length of x within a function then I cannot list all for format codes 
and sprintf apparently will not accept just "x" - it wants one value for 
each format code as in the above example. Does anyone know a way to handle 
this? And is there a way to repeat the format code like in Fortran (e.g. 
5F4.1)? Thanks.
