Hi List,
I hope this is correct list to propose function extensions, sorry if not.
I am preparing for a (hopefully painless) migration to linux. As far as
I am aware of, the function "shell.exec" only comes with the windows
version. I think this is a handy little function and would like to see
my scripts work when I migrate.
May I propose something (like the following)?
open.file <- function(file) {
if(.Platform$OS.type=="windows") {shell.exec(file)} else
{system(paste("open ",file))}
}
Or just a small addition to the shell.exec function and no new named
function.
Hope the idea isn't received as "too stupid".
Cheers,
Brian
