Querying the path separator?
Jonathan Greenberg wrote:
The problem is that I'm trying to create a path to use with a system() call, and the command window will not work with the forward slash, only with the standard backslash. I do understand that within R it will work with either way, but not via the system call. I'm trying to create a "generic" system() call that will work with an external executable that is available on both windows and unix machines.
Would .Platform$file.sep help you? I can't test this. Berend -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Querying-the-path-separator-tp3631806p3632161.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
