Question about Unix file paths
# aldus John W. Eaton :
It seems to me that using this approach to implement a proper glob()
function would be more work than using the glob code that is available
as part of bash, which I think will allow you to handle much more
complex patterns, including [xyz] {a,b,c} etc.
Unix people don't need a glob function in R. But a simple glob, with just '*' and '?', may be all that an average Windows user can handle, and useful to them.
