Dear R List
I have a small problem concerning the output of print().
My version:
R.version_ platform i386-portbld-freebsd5.2 arch i386 os freebsd5.2 system i386, freebsd5.2 status major 1 minor 9.0 year 2004 month 04 day 12 language R
Consider this: I want to print a backslash with an exclamation mark. Here is the output.
print( "\!" )[1] "!"
Now I try it differently...
print( "\\!" )[1] "\\!"
The output contains two backslashes. Why?
Because it is documented to escape backslashes: use cat() if that is not what you want.
