I want to use R to run dos commands (either by create batch files or using shell())and I need to write double quotes on the file (or shell command). As an easier example, lets take:
> print("hello 'hello' hello") [1] "hello 'hello' hello" Lets say instead of the above, I wanted: "hello "hello" hello" If possible, how would I do that? I understand that \ is an escape character, so I tried: > print("hello \"hello\" hello") [1] "hello \"hello\" hello" But that did not work.
