Well, even it's not the central point of the discussion let make this

Gabriel,
I apologize. I did not mean to flame, merely to point out a typical usage
of tilde that might have escaped the discussion.
As you say, Kurt's fix makes this all moot.
I also apologize for wasting everyone's time with my spam.

At the risk of looking silly, note that all of this is now largely moot
anyway (or will be with the next release of R), thanks to Kurt Hornik's
fixing of the bug in question (which he announced on this thread prior to
but I read after Paul's).

"Avoid tilde in file names":
Not quite.
A tilde *suffix* is commonly used by *nix editors for backup files

Hi Gabriel,
It may be bad practice, but you don't always have control over the file
name.
E.g. if someone shares a file with a tilde in it -- yes it is simple to
rename but it is extra time, and you might not bother to rename a file
without foreknowledge of this bug in the first place.

Hi Frank,
I'm hesitant to be "that guy", but in case no one else has brought this up
to you, having files with a tilde in their names (generally but especially
on a linux system, where ~ in file names has a very important special
meaning in some cases, as we know) strikes me as an exceptionally

Hi Gabriel,
I actually want to make renames over thousands of files. But if I am not able
to express the source filename of the rename operation I will not be able to
get the work done. Besides the fact that there are issues I think that R is
qualified for solving my problem by the method how

Please excuse me I will cc this answer to r-help and r-devel to keep the
discussion running.
Kind regards,
