[R] problem with concatinating string while taking as a path of a file
Hi all, I have a problem with concatinating strings while taking as a path here the problem is i have to take path as FPATH<-"D:\\Kiran" and file name as Fname<-"FINDINGS.CSV" and while I am reading this table I have to take path with using these two strings because in "FPATH" there is many files like findings.csv, and path will be "D:\\Kiran\\FINDINGS.CSV" here i tried with " FPATH+\\+Fname", "FPATH~\\~Fname" , FPATH&\\&Fname and FPATH::\\::Fname but I am not able to get path like "D:\\Kiran\\FINDINGS.CSV". can any one help me out of this problem. thanks in advance.
