Hello! with the R system command I would like to call a perl script which needs an input directory and an output directory in form of a path. When I put in the path directly it works. The script line looks as follows:
system("perl '../path1' '../path2' '../path3'") If I store the path in a variable/object and call the perl script again it does not run and I don't know how to overcome that issue. p1 <- "../path1" p2 <- "../path2" p3 <- "../path3" system("perl p1 p2 p3") I also tried: system("perl 'p1' 'p2' 'p3'") Can anyone help?
