Dear list, I'd like to report a bug in `prettyNum()`. When called with a numeric vector, the `replace.zero` argument is disregarded.
> prettyNum(0, zero.print = "- ", replace.zero = TRUE) [1] "-" Warning message: In .format.zeros(x, zero.print, replace = replace.zero) : 'zero.print' is truncated to fit into formatted zeros; consider 'replace=TRUE' A character vector as input works as expected: > prettyNum("0", zero.print = "- ", replace.zero = TRUE) [1] "- " Please see below a patch which I believe would fix this. I haven't tested it as I can't easily compile R from source with my setup.
