I do so because it gets around the "\", "/", "\\" confusion in my brain, ... and it's faster. R does not use solitary "\"'s in its filenames for directory separation. It's the <escape> character for regular expressions, and R's development in the *nix world trumped any need to be consistent with the dark side's use of "\" as a directory separator. You can use single "/" as well as "\\" -- David Winsemius ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
