Hi, I have a small R question: how to print a single "\" character? I have the following results:print("\") does not work
print("\\")[1] "\\"
Use cat("\\").
I need to make the following substitution as well, but it does not work either:sub("_","\_","g_g")[1] "g_g"
Use sub("_","\\\\_","g_g")
If you print() the result it will look as though it has a double \, but that's an optical illusion. cat() will show it correctly with a single \ (and nchar() will confirm that it has 4 characters).
