Hi,
I have problem when evaluating string containing file path.
path <-"inputDirectory='d:\\diplomski_rad\\testOutput\\temp'"
print(eval(parse(text=path)))
After executing code, I get
[1] "d:diplomski_rad\testOutput\temp"
Warning messages:
1: '\d' is an unrecognized escape in a character string
2: unrecognized escape removed from "d:\diplomski_rad\testOutput\temp"
I try different combination but without luck. What's the problem ?
Lack of quoting: you need to esape \ twice, for the parser and for the
string. So that means liteally \\\\ .
Why not use '/' for file paths (see both the FAQ and rw-FAQ)?
And why not use
assign("-"inputDirectory", 'd:\\diplomski_rad\\testOutput\\temp')
?
Regards,
Tomislav
