[R] How to print a double quote

2007-02-22 Thread Bos, Roger
Can anyone tell me how to get R to include a double quote in the middle
of a character string?  

For example, the following code is close:

 fnd-Open fnd 'test'
cat(fnd)
Open fnd 'test'


But instead of Open fnd 'test' I need: Open fnd test.  Difference
seems minor, but I am writing batch files for another program to read in
and it has to have the double quotes to work.  

Thanks in advance for any help or ideas,

Roger

try 

 cat(Open fnd \test\)

which is the same as for C.

FAQ 7.37 Why does backslash behave strangely inside strings?

 
 For example, the following code is close:
 
  fnd-Open fnd 'test'
 cat(fnd)
 Open fnd 'test'
 
 
 But instead of Open fnd 'test' I need: Open fnd test.  Difference
