You want to look at the formatC function together with paste to build up the lines you want. For example, > x <- sample(200,5) > y <- sample(200,5) > cat(paste(formatC(x, width=5), formatC(y, width=5)), sep='\n') 84 36 159 64 55 78 59 51 132 107 Duncan Murdoch ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
