Dear Prof. Ripley,
Would it be possible to make sprintf accept vector arguments?
I.e. allow expressions like
sprintf("%04d", 1:3)
to produce something like what currently needs to be done via
sapply(1:3, function(i) sprintf("%04d",i))Best wishes Wolfgang ------------------------------------- Wolfgang Huber European Bioinformatics Institute European Molecular Biology Laboratory Cambridge CB10 1SD England Phone: +44 1223 494642 Fax: +44 1223 494486 Http: www.ebi.ac.uk/huber -------------------------------------

We'll fix this, but you might like to note that sprintf is more bulletproof and as from 2.1.0-to-be, a lot more tolerant, e.g.
sprintf("%s", 1)
works there and in 2.0.1 gives a useful error message.

formatC(1, flag="s") crashes Rgui. Similarly for flag=[SnZ]. Stupid input, of course, but I'm error-prone.
