R-2.5.0 and unlink/wildcards
Thanks, this now works. I'd just like to mention that Sys.glob() wasn't necessary in 2.4.1 and this potential requirement should perhaps be mentioned in ?unlink. Thanks E

This is shell-dependent on a Unix-alike, but Sys.glob() should
work. So try
unlink(Sys.glob("run.*"), recursive=TRUE)

It seems unlink doesn't work with wildcards in 2.5.0. I've tried R-2.5.0 under gnu/linux from source and the Mac binary from att research. Example:
dir()
[1] "bgx.Rnw" "bgx.pdf" "run.1"
unlink("run.*",recursive=T)
dir()
[1] "bgx.Rnw" "bgx.pdf" "run.1"
unlink("run.1",recursive=T)
dir()
[1] "bgx.Rnw" "bgx.pdf"
