Thanks.

I should have been clearer. The output is the string "XXX.XX" and "XXX". 

So xify(4.1) should produce "XXX.X" as character string.

Any pointers? Or did I miss something with formatC?

See ?formatC

You might need to write a simple wrapper function to implement the interface
that you want.

I'm trying to write a simple function that does the following:

  [command] xify(5.2)
  [output] XXX.XX

  [command] xify(3)
  [output] XXX

Any simple solutions (without using python/perl/unix script/...)?

Thanks,
Saghir
