It had been about a year since I had worked in Windows, and apparently I
had gotten rusty. Forward slashes in path names, as in
read.csv("e:/path/to/datafileOnWindows.csv")
work just fine in R on Windows.
Sorry for the bother.

I'm trying to generalize one of my scripts so that it will run on my

I'm encountering trouble when setting file paths, conditional on which
computer the script is running on. It's the Windows backslash issue

Hello,
Probably off-topic but you can automate switching from "\\" to "/".
If run on Windows, normalizePath uses "\\".
Then, chartr it translates to "/".
path <- normalizePath("~")
chartr("\\", "/", path)
Hope this helps,
