Does anyone know of a way to specify the alignment of individual columns in a data frame so that after using write.table the columns are aligned in the file?
Do you mean by padding with spaces? set numzer.pad to the desired
width and then perhaps using
lapply(dfrm, function(x) sprintf(paste('%0', numzer.pad, 'i', sep=''),
x)
You might need to check for the class of the columns because the
letter in the format string for sprintf is different fo numbers and
characters.
