Subject: What does the shell() command do?
Dear R community,
I am trying to understand what the shell() function does.
An example is:
xfile <- shell(paste("dir/b ",
paste(directory.folder,"file.name",sep="")),intern=T)
I'm afraid I wasn't able to completely understand the explanation under the
Help files.
Thanks for your help!
Leanne.
