I have string as follows:"v:\work\gene" however, i can not write this as character string in R what i did is: path<- as.character("v:\work\gene")
but it seems that \ is eliminated: Warning messages: 1: '\w' is an unrecognized escape in a character string 2: '\g' is an unrecognized escape in a character string 3: unrecognized escapes removed from "v:\work\gene" > path [1] "v:workgene" how can i keep the \ in string. thanks -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/how-to-put-in-a-string-tp2062483p2062483.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
