R devel - Apr 2002 - file.info()$isdir is not TRUE (PR#1439)

Full_Name: Henrik Bengtsson
Version: R v1.4.1
OS: WinMe / Solaris 8
Submission from: (NULL) (217.208.14.137)


R -vanilla
> info <- file.info("C:/Windows/regedit.exe")
> info$isdir
[1] FALSE
> info$isdir == FALSE
[1] TRUE

But:
> info <- file.info("C:/Windows")
> info$isdir
[1]TRUE           <<< Note the missing space!
> info$isdir == TRUE
[1] FALSE
> is.logical(info$isdir)
[1] TRUE
> as.logical(info$isdir) == TRUE
[1] FALSE
> as.logical(as.character(info$isdir)) == TRUE
[1] TRUE

I get the same behaviour on Solaris 8.

Best
