title: Convert numeric to string, keep decimal places in R
body: <p>I have a field that is being read as numeric, with values that look something like this: <code>"1234.00".</code> I would like to convert this to a string, but preserve the trailing zeroes after the decimal place. </p>
  
  <p>When I use <code>as.character(1234.00)</code>, the result is <code>"1234"</code> instead of <code>"1234.00"</code>. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks for the help!</p>
