Dear R-helpers
I am running R2.0.0 under Windows 2000. I am compiling a number of file paths into a simple text file that will be read by some other software we use. Unfortunately, it can only handle file paths with back slashes (MS Windows convention), and from R, I get file paths with forward slashes. The following didn't work.
gsub('/', '\\', 'c:/dir1/dir2/file.ext')
[1] "c:dir1dir2file.ext"
gsub('/', '\\\\', 'c:/dir1/dir2/file.ext')
[1] "c:\\dir1\\dir2\\file.ext"
The latter worked very well, it's just a matter of print()ing:
cat(gsub('/', '\\\\', 'c:/dir1/dir2/file.ext'))

I have tried to find an answer on R-help, but didn't ;-(
Thanks for helping me,
