You don't need to escape it if you read it from a file, get it from
list.files(), etc. You only need to escape it if you are writing a
literal string in R code.

Hi Ista,
Is there no way to not escape the backslash in the pathway? The
pathway is going to change and will become very long and I need to do
this programmatically. Beside, escaping the backslash defeats the
purpose of using gsub. If I could do this manually each and every
time, I would change si
Since the character looks like a Windows file path, you could use
normalizePath() instead of gsub().
normalizePath("X:\\Classes\\TT\\Automation", winslash = "/", mustWork =
FALSE)

... and note that if you want to use a regular expression (i.e. fixed =
FALSE), you would need another level of escaping, i.e.
gsub("","
Escape the backslash with another backslash, i.e.,
gsub("\\","/","X:\\Classes\\TT\\Automation", fixed = TRUE)

Hi all,
I realize that the backslash is an escape character in R, therefore, I
am trying to replace it with a forward slash. Can someone please
suggest how to get this code to work?
> lib<-gsub("\","/","X:\Classes\TT\Automation")
Error: unexpected symbol in "lib<-gsub("\","/","X"
Thanks,
Dan
