[R] as.numeric is truncating!

[ticspd]

I am trying to convert a string to  a double using "as.numeric"
However, R is truncating the results!

Options(digits) is set to 7.

Can anyone shed some light on this?
Thanks!


> b[1]
[1] "116.28125"

> summary(b[1])
   Length     Class      Mode 
        1 character character 

> c <- as.numeric(b[1])
> c
[1] 116.2812
