accounting format
Try this:
zz <- matrix(-10:13,6) * 100.11 # test data
format(ifelse(zz < 0, sprintf("(%.2f)", -zz), sprintf("%.2f ", zz)),
justify = "right")

does anyone know a quick and dirty way to format numerics so that negative values appear as they do in accounting statements (surrounded by parentheses), rather than preceded by a negative sign? i've been toying with format() and formatC(), but can't figure out how to do this. thanks in advance. franklin parlamis
