* table column with trailing 0s

Hi all,

I am trying to get a table generated from R to be pretty printed in
org mode (and the export).

Suppose, I have a table like this (typical statistical table):

#+attr_latex: align=lr
#+begin_src R :colnames yes :exports results
  data.frame(parameter=c("param1", "param2", "param3", "param4"),
             pvalue=c("0.80", "0.15", "*0.03*", "*< 0.01*"))
#+end_src

#+results:
| parameter | pvalue   |
|-----------+----------|
| param1    | 0.8      |
| param2    | 0.15     |
| param3    | *0.03*   |
| param4    | *< 0.01* |

Here, org mode strips the trailing 0 from param1 which makes the
table a lot less readable.

How can I tell org not to trim the contents of string(!) columns?

Regards,
Andreas

Aloha Andreas,

I've been very happy using David Hajage's ascii package for R.  See
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages/ob-doc-R.html#sec-4-2
for a few examples of how it works with tabular and non-tabular data.

hth,
Tom

Hi Tom,

thanks for this pointer.  I have used the ascii package on several
occasions already, but completely forgot about it this time.

Cheers,
Andreas
