R help - Aug 2014 - Error - "cannot coerce type 'closure' to vector of type 'character' "

Dear group,

Im new to R, I find it comfortable using this with the help of tutorials,
But Im stuck up at a point
when I run - points= readOGR(points,sub(".shp","",points))
it shows the error- "cannot coerce type 'closure' to vector of type
'character' ".
What could it be. With my browse efforts, I found that It could be some
startup issues. Like if the variable isnt well declared or started. Is that?

Hello,

'points' is an R function (a closure) and either readOGR() or sub() or 
both are expecting a vector. Use a different name, like pnts.

Hope this helps,
