Hi all,
I am trying to pass arguments to a python script using R, but am running into a
problem with the string being split on the white spaces. Investigation on the
python end suggests that it is happening upstream from python, because other
shells such as bash have generated similar errors.
Here is example code.
R script:
test = "./Example.py"
string1 = "ThisWorks"
string2 = "This doesn't"
system2('python',args = c(as.character(test),as.character(string1))) ## This
works
system2('python',args = c(as.character(test),as.character(string2))) ## This
doesn't
Python script:
from sys import argv
script, string = argv
print script
print string
What happens is that string 2 is splits into "This" and "doesn't". Does anyone
know how to resolve this issue? Of course I can remove the white spaces, but
that may be somewhat inconvenient.
Thanks for any help.
Wade
