Dear Uwe,
Actually I expected
format(10000, big.mark = "\\\\,")
to work (you need to double excape the backslashes here).
this I also tried :-)
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 = ",\\\\")
but then I get "10\\,000" instead of "10\,000". The reason why I want to have "10\,000"
is for use in LaTeX. If I produce the format "10\\,000" in a table, then xtable gives me 10$\backslash$,000
for the corresponding cell entry, which is wrong :-(. Do you know a trick for that?
I think you are confusing strings with the way they are printed. "\\"
is how a single backslash is printed (by print()), which escapes the \.
Use cat() to output it without adding the escape.

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