Hello,

Try instead

command <- paste(aa, fnm)
system(command)

And read the help page for ?paste

Hope this helps,

I need to send a system command to another program from within R but have a 
small hangup

I'm trying to do something like this

system("notepad myfile.txt")

But, more generally this is happening to multiple files, so I loop over 
thousands of files. For purposes of an example, my code is something like this, 
which does not work

aa <- 'notepad.exe'
fnm <- 'myfile.txt'
system("aa fnm")

Any suggestions?
