Actually I expected

format(10000, big.mark = "\\\\,")

to work (you need to double excape the backslashes here).

But the two characters are reversed due to the code in prettyNum(). Not sure if it is expected, but the user was probably not expected to use more than a single character as the big.mark.

You can get it right by reversing as in:

format(10000, big.mark = ",\\\\")

Hi,

why does format(10000, big.mark = "\\,") not give me "10\,000"? How can I get this kind 
of "big.mark"?

Cheers,

Marius
