Subject: Re: [R] Formatting zeroes with prettyNum
Tim,
The purpose of the `replace.zero` argument is to allow longer replacements.
See for example the behaviour with a character vector input:
> prettyNum("0", zero.print = "- ", replace.
place = 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'
When zero.print is only one character, it doesn't give a warning.

Dear list,
Have I stumbled upon a bug, or am I holding `prettyNum()` wrong? Please see
below.
Best,
