There are two ways to express file paths with the Windows environment:
> a=file.choose()
> a
[1] "C:\\Documents and Settings\\rbaer\\Desktop\\_VNT_Test\\coordFocused 20k F5
0ng Ki8751 t20.txt"
and
>b= paste(getwd(),"/",dir()[1],sep="")
>b
[1] "C:/Documents and Settings/rbaer/Desktop/_VNT_Test/coordFocused 20k F5 0ng
Ki8751 t20.txt"
I have 2 questions:
1. Is it possible to get file.choose() to use the forward slash rather than
the escaped back slash. It would be nice
if it were consistent with dir() and getwd()
2. If one has a path string like the escaped backslash pattern shown in 1
above, how does one do a strsplit() on these escaped backslashs?
Thanks,
Rob
