Hi, file.remove(path) will remove an empty directory "on most Unix platforms", but not on Windows, cf. help("file.remove"). A workaround for Windows is then unlink(path, recursive=TRUE). However, unless you're really careful and make sure 'path' is not empty, you may delete more than you wish (even worse, path may contain '..' or likewise from a list.files(all.names=TRUE) call). Is there another *non-recursive* way to delete a single empty directory on Windows (without turning to system() calls)?
Thanks, Henrik ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
