It appears that you do not know how to tell Windows how to deal with a space in your command. That not really an on topic question for R-help. You need to learn how to use the operating system you have chosen. It might be a simple as not using full path to your program if it is registered, or you might need to navigate to the “Program Files” directory, or <something else>. > > What do you think I am doing wrong? > > Thanks again, > > Jorge You need to wrap paths that contain spaces with double quotes. Given the way the lines are broken in the email I can only guess you might want something like this "C:\Program Files\HDF_Group\H4TOH5\2.2.2\bin\h4toh5convert.exe " "D:\Guanacos_3\Consultoria Santa Cruz\Datos SC\Clima\MODIS Snow\AMSR_E_L3_5DaySnow_V09_20050126.hdf" Dan Daniel Nordlund, PhD Research and Data Analysis Division Services & Enterprise Support Administration Washington State Department of Social and Health Services ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see 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.
