Can you provide some further detail on how the string is created? I'm not familiar with Rpad, but I wonder if the issue isn't at that level. Note that if you create a string with single '\', R eats them up and at that point there is nothing you can do: s <- "x\y\z" s [1] "xyz" Do you have a way of printing your path string? + seth ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
