[R] Printing vector

Mon Jul 22 18:33:51 CEST 2019

The following mimics Fortran printing with format
<perLine>F<fWidth>.<fPrecision>.

print1 <- function (x, perLine = 10, fWidth = 8, fPrecision = 2,
fortranStars = TRUE)
{
    format <- paste0("%", fWidth, ".", fPrecision, "f")
    oldWidth <- getOption("width")
    on.exit(options(width = oldWidth))
    options(width = perLine * fWidth)
    fx <- sprintf(format, x)
    if (fortranStars) {
        fx[nchar(fx) > fWidth] <- strrep("*", fWidth)
    }
    cat(fx, sep = "", fill = TRUE)
    invisible(x)
}
