How to print R variables in middle of String

r

Solution

The problem is that R does not evaluate any expression withing the quotes - it is just printing the string you defined. There are multiple ways around it. For example, you can use the `sprintf` function (untested because you do not provide a reproducible example):

   cat(sprintf("<set name=\"%s\" value=\"%f\" ></set>\n", df$timeStamp, df$Price))

Problem

I am trying to print out a line that contains a mixture of a String and a variable. Here is the R code at present: ``` cat("<set name=\",df$timeStamp,\" value=\",df$Price,\" ></set>\n") ``` Here is what it prints out when run: ``` <set name=",df$timeStamp," value=",df$Price," ></set> ``` I would like it to have the value of df$timeStamp and df$Price printed out. I would like for example the following: ``` <set name="2010-08-18 12:00:59" value="17.56" ></set> ``` Any idea where I am going wrong in the code? Any and all help greatly appreciated.
