Dear Henrik and list-members, Thanks for your proposition but it is the same:
For example, no error message but no result: > pathfile <- system2(command="find", args="$HOME -type f -name 'PuertoSanJose.csv'", stderr = FALSE, stdout="") /Users/marc/Dropbox/DropBoxPerso/Data_Ale/Original/PuertoSanJose.csv > pathfile [1] 1 Example 2 with error message but I get the result ! > pathfile <- system2(command="find", args="$HOME -type f -name 'PuertoSanJose.csv'", stderr = FALSE, stdout=TRUE) Message d'avis : l'exécution de la commande ''find' $HOME -type f -name 'PuertoSanJose.csv' 2>/dev/null' renvoie un statut 1 > pathfile [1] "/Users/marc/Dropbox/DropBoxPerso/Data_Ale/Original/PuertoSanJose.csv" attr(,"status") [1] 1 I try another solution with options(warn=2) and try(xxx, silent=TRUE) to convert the warning in error and mask the error, but I cannot get the result anymore: > options(warn=2) > pathfile <- try(system2(command="find", args="$HOME -type f -name 'PuertoSanJose.csv'", stderr = FALSE, stdout=TRUE), silent=TRUE) > pathfile [1] "Error : (converti depuis l'avis) l'exécution de la commande ''find' $HOME -type f -name 'PuertoSanJose.csv' 2>/dev/null' renvoie un statut 1\n" attr(,"class") [1] "try-error" attr(,"condition") <simpleError: (converti depuis l'avis) l'exécution de la commande ''find' $HOME -type f -name 'PuertoSanJose.csv' 2>/dev/null' renvoie un statut 1> I try also this combinations but without success: > pathfile <- "" > try(assign("pathfile", system2(command="find", args="$HOME -type f -name 'PuertoSanJose.csv'", stderr = FALSE, stdout=TRUE), envir=globalenv()), silent=TRUE) > pathfile [1] "" > try({pathfile <<- system2(command="find", args="$HOME -type f -name 'PuertoSanJose.csv'", stderr = FALSE, stdout=TRUE)}, silent=TRUE) > pathfile [1] "" Sooo... any other idea ?
