How to add leading zeros?
I have a set of data which looks something like this:
anim <- c(25499,25500,25501,25502,25503,25504)
sex <- c(1,2,2,1,2,1)
wt <- c(0.8,1.2,1.0,2.0,1.8,1.4)
data <- data.frame(anim,sex,wt)
data
anim sex wt anim2
1 25499 1 0.8 2
2 25500 2 1.2 2
3 25501 2 1.0 2
4 25502 1 2.0 2
5 25503 2 1.8 2
6 25504 1 1.4 2
I would like a zero to be added before each animal id:
data
anim sex wt anim2
1 025499 1 0.8 2
2 025500 2 1.2 2
3 025501 2 1.0 2
4 025502 1 2.0 2
5 025503 2 1.8 2
6 025504 1 1.4 2
And for interest sake, what if I need to add two or three zeros before the animal id's?
