I am assuming this is related to the bug report I previously submitted; however, this time I am getting different behavior so I thought it might be helpful just in case this gives a clue.
On Windows 2000 the following code crashes R: > z <- readLines(con <- pipe("cmd /c attrib c:/a*.txt")) > z [1] "¬A C:\\addr.txt~" "A C:\\a.awk.txt" [3] "A C:\\a.txt~" > close(con) It crashes when I issue the close command. What happens specifically is that a window pops up saying "Rgui has generated errors and with be closed by windows". R then shuts down. I am using Windows 2000 and R 1.8.1. ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
