multiline string continuation
May this:
gsub("\n", "", "
X:/level1/level2
/level3/level4/
level5/level6
")

Dear R experts, I wonder how can one input a string variable in multiple lines in a R script. I've seen solution to the command line continuation in the non-string situation (just continute at the new line). However, that doesn't work for strings because the new line character, "\n", is included in the resultant string. For example, if I type the following in a script: datadir=" X:/level1/level2 /level3/level4/ level5/level6" after executing the script, string variable "datadir" becomes "X:/level1/level2\n/level3/level4/\nlevel5/level6" Someone has suggested to use "paste()" for putting pieces of strings together, but I would like to see if there is any other simpler workaround for multiline string continuation.
