	adding zero to a number vector by silcha :: Rate this Message: Reply to Author \| View Threaded \| Show Only this Message Hi ! I'd like to create a vector that has this kind of numeration 001 002 003 . . . 099 I have looked at format help page but couldn't get any hint on how to do it.

Importantly, note that the result is a character vector and not numeric values, though you can coerce back to numeric with ?as.numeric.
