How to create a string containing '\/' to be used with SED?
...ke:
command <- paste("sed -i 's/^instance .*/instance = ", data$instancePath,
data$newInstance, "/' ", configurationFile, sep = "")
system(command)
This will overwrite the line starting with "instance " using "instance =
the_new_instance"
In the example I gave, data$instancePath = /home/TSPFiles/TSPLIB/ and
data$newInstance = berlin52.tsp
The problem is that I need to pass the above path string to sed in the form:
"\/home\/TSPFiles\/TSPLIB\/"
However, I couldn't find a way to "create" such a string...
