[R] escape character OK in R environment, fails in R CMD CHECK
Hi,
I am trying to check a package via R CMD CHECK and it is failing with
Error: '\s' is an unrecognized escape in character string starting
"\s"
The culprit looks something like this:
gsub('\\s\\(.*\\)',"","this is a (test, man) dude")
which is correctly escaped with the "\\"'s -- but it seems that
R CMD
CHECK is pre-escaping the string when it reads in the code to check it.
How do I get R CMD CHECK to let the "\\s" 's through?
Thanks.
