Look at the sprintf and paste functions (either one will do what you describe).
Dear All,

I have the following code set up:

x <-2000
y <-8
z <-3

I would need to use these numbers to show up in my plot title "mixed" with text. The x,y,z numbers would need to change, the text would not. So my title should look like this

"x txt1 y txt2 z txt3"

so if:
txt1=hours
txt2=minutes
txt3=seconds

then my title of the plot should read:   2000 hours 8 minutes 3 seconds

any thoughts on how to do this would be greatly apreciated

thanks,

Andras

plot(1, main = paste(x, "hours", y , "minutes", z , "seconds", sep =" "))
