Re: [R] file.link fails on NTFS

Hello, Checks. It seems like a Windows specific bug, it works on Ubuntu 12.04/R 2.15.2. I'll post to R-devel. > sessionInfo() R version 2.15.2 (2012-10-26) Platform: i386-w64-mingw32/i386 (32-bit) locale: [1] LC_COLLATE=Portuguese_Portugal.1252 LC_CTYPE=Portuguese_Portugal.1252 [3] LC_MONETAR

[R] file.link fails on NTFS

Windows 7 64-bit, R 2.15.2 i386. Working directory is on an NTFS drive. > writeLines("", "file.txt") > file.link("file.txt", "link.txt") Warning in file.link("file.txt", "link.txt") : cannot link 'link.txt' to 'link.txt', reason 'The system cannot find the file specified' No link is created.
