similar to: should Sys.glob() cope with a UNC windows path beginning with backslashes?

Hi, Back in 2010 I had a problem with 'update.packages()', which I worked around by mapping a drive letter to a UNC path [described in <http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/Rhelp10/2010-February/229820.html> but my current workaround is assign(".lib.loc", sub("\\\\\\\\Server02/stats", "L:", .libPaths(), ignore.case = TRUE), env=environment(.libPaths))].

Hi, Back in June I posted the message below, but had no replies. I've made a little progress since then so this is to update anyone interested (!) and to ask for comments. Brief problem statement: Under Windows, some parts of R don't handle UNC paths beginning with backslashes. Specifically a) Sys.glob() fails to find some files breaking (e.g.) Rcmdr plugins

Hi all, Here''s what I''ve come up with so far for a pure Ruby Dir.glob for MS Windows. It almost works. The problem right now is the [] notation, which I''m not translating properly into a regex. I haven''t started on the ''**'' notation yet either, but I figure that''s more of a control flow issue. Feel free to disagree with me and/or

Do not pass GLOB_MARK as flag for glob(3) in the daemon implementation of glob, so names of directories will not have a trailing slash. This allows users to have filenames that can be used with other tools, such as rm. Add a new test to check this (based on RHBZ#1293271). A mild behaviour change is that users of the glob API now need to append the slash when building paths using its results.

Full_Name: Mike Pacey Version: 2.6.0 OS: SuSe Linux 9.3 x86_64 Submission from: (NULL) (194.80.32.10) A "vanilla" version of R configures and compiles without a problem on my system. Switching to using the PGI compiler configures correctly (see the values at the bottom fo thismessage), but compilation aborts with: pgcc -I../../src/extra/zlib -I../../src/extra/bzip2

Add a new optional bool "directoryslash" to indicate whether the caller wants trailing slashes in names of directories, defaulting to true (the current behaviour); this helps with interoperability with other tools (such as rm).

Hi folks. We were made aware of a MITRE CVE assignment on OpenSSH for a remote DoS in sftp, described as: The (1) remote_glob function in sftp-glob.c and the (2) process_put function in sftp.c in OpenSSH 5.8 and earlier, as used in FreeBSD 7.3 and 8.1, NetBSD 5.0.2, OpenBSD 4.7, and other products, allow remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (CPU and memory consumption) via

As you might know, LFTP is a popular FTP/SFTP command-line client for most systems. One feature that is lacking from this tool is the ability to do a globbed ls via sftp. I have a patch ready for LFTP that incorporates some of the knowledge [like oddball systems glob() handling] and some of the code from sftp-glob.c for this tool to add this capability. I do, however, have some questions about

I am wondering why this is: In Test/Unit I am iterating a directory so that I can require each of the files in the directory. When I call Dir.glob, the root is the Rails_root, however when I iterate the files I get an error if I use Rails root and must begin the included file''s path from within the test directory. This: integration/helpers/file.rb And not

I was trying to remove a directory and couldn't figure out why it was failing: > dir("~/p4/r-packages/IREval/Users", recursive=T) [1] "u0048513/p4/r-packages/IREval/DESCRIPTION" [2] "u0048513/p4/r-packages/IREval/R/IREval.R" [3] "u0048513/p4/r-packages/IREval/Read-and-delete-me" [4] "u0048513/p4/r-packages/IREval/tests/general.R" >

Hi, all. I've been searching google, bug reports and forums and have looked in all the asterisk-users list archives back to 2003 but haven't seen an answer to this, so thought I'd post here. The problem seems to be that Asterisk 1.6.0.5 is sending backslashes (needed to escape commas and so forth in 1.4.21.2) as *literal* backslashes to Mysql, so that Mysql gives a syntax error

Is it just my installation or does edit() (or fix(), etc.) in R-4.0.0 double all the backslashes when options(keep.source=TRUE)? E.g., > options(keep.source=TRUE) > f <- function(x) { cat("\t", x, "\n", sep="") } > edit(f) # exit the editor without making any changes The editor (vi or notepad) shows doubled backslashes function(x) {

I am trying to check for backslashes in data, then remove them when I find them, but am having a difficult time figuring out the best way to do it. I know the backslash is the escape character in R, and I should be able to use 'gsub' to accomplish this, but I all I seem to be getting are errors. For example: If entry is: "Hello\World" I want: "HelloWorld"

Hello everybody, this might be a trivial question, but I have been unable to find this using Google. I am trying to replace double backslashes with single backslashes using gsub. There seems to be some unexpected behaviour with regards to the replacement string "\\". The following example uses the string C:\\ which should be converted to C:\ . > gsub("\\\\",

This patch set fixes a two year old bug in guestfish, namely that the 'glob' command does not expand /dev/* patterns. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=635971 Rich.

Hello! I've just started trying gnome-terminal (instead of xterm) because of its "tabbing" facility. However, I note that with it backslashes appear something like a W with a horizontal line through it. Any known way to get a backslash to appear as a backslash? To see what I mean, use gnome-terminal with echo '\' in bash, ksh, etc. Regards, Chip Campbell

Hi, I am trying to zip up my application folder using RubyZip. It works fine except for one glitch: There is a RadRails project file ".project" which does not get included. When I test Dir.glob("#{app_dir}/**/*) it does not return ".project" Is there some problem with filenames starting with "." (I am using Windows) Thanks George

Dear developeRs, I thought that backslashes can be escaped in the usual way (and I think I did this before) but I can't see why R> gsub("\\", "x", "\alpha") Error in gsub(pattern, replacement, x, ignore.case, extended, fixed, useBytes) : invalid regular expression '\' gives an error. Or am I just blind? Best, Torsten R> version
