Subject: trailing slash when writing shapefiles with writeOGR
I just noticed that writing to a shape file using a trailing slash in
the directory path doesn't work (with a somewhat non-informative
error):
> writeOGR(obj = pril08c2.poly, dsn = "q:/projekti/gams_eksp/analiza/", layer = "priloznostno_2008_2012_cona2", driver = "ESRI Shapefile")
Error in writeOGR(obj = pril08c2.poly, dsn =
"q:/projekti/gams_eksp/analiza/", :
Creation of output file failed
While this does:
> writeOGR(obj = pril08c2.poly, dsn = "q:/projekti/gams_eksp/analiza", layer = "priloznostno_2008_2012_cona2", driver = "ESRI Shapefile")
>
The only difference is the trailing slash in the `dsn` path to the
folder is missing. I hope this will save someone some time - it ate
away most of my Saturday morning.
Cheers,
Roman
