I encountered very weird behavior of the dir() function, that I just can not understand.
Reproducible example: docker run -ti rocker/r-base R version 3.3.1 (2016-06-21) -- "Bug in Your Hair" Copyright (C) 2016 The R Foundation for Statistical Computing Platform: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit) > # setup > tmp <- tempfile() > dir.create(tmp) > setwd(tmp) > file.symlink('from', 'to') # First weirdness, the behavior of the recursive argument > dir() [1] "to" > dir(recursive=TRUE) character(0) # include.dirs make it work again. The doc states: Should subdirectory names be included in # recursive listings? (They always are in non-recursive ones). >dir(recursive=TRUE, include.dirs=TRUE) [1] "to" Best, Karl [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
