Dear all, Given a number
x<-1.234e12 is there a built-in function for extracting 1.234 and 12 ? The following "hack" seems clumpsy: > a<-strsplit(format(x, scientific=T),"e")[[1]] > a [1] "1.234" "+12" > as.numeric(a[1]) [1] 1.234 > as.integer(a[2]) [1] 12 Regards Søren ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
