How to use sub, gsub, etc. to replace "\" in a string to "/"? For example,convert "C:\foo\bar" to "C:/foo/bar". Thanks, Shengqiao Li
Except it's a bit tricker because: s <- "C:\foo\bar" print(s) You'd need to work with encodeString( "C:\foo\bar") but that won't work in general: "c:\xjobs" "c:\" "c:\help" Hadley On Tue, Sep 23, 2008 at 3:00 PM, Shengqiao Li <shli at stat.wvu.edu> wrote:> > How to use sub, gsub, etc. to replace "\" in a string to "/"? > > For example,convert "C:\foo\bar" to "C:/foo/bar". > > Thanks, > > Shengqiao Li > > ______________________________________________ > R-help at r-project.org mailing list > 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. >-- http://had.co.nz/
