It doesn't seem to be possible if readline is enabled and works correctly. Calls to path.expand [1] end up [2] in R_ExpandFileName [3], which calls R_ExpandFileName_readline

Hi Frank, I'm hesitant to be "that guy", but in case no one else has brought this up to you, having files with a tilde in their names (generally but especially on a linux system, where ~ in file names has a very important special meaning in some cases, as we know) strikes me as an exceptionally bad practice anyway. In light of that, the solution with the smallest amount of pain for

Note that R treats tildes in file names differently on Windows and Linux. On Windows, it is only replaced if it it at the beginning of the line and is followed by a forward or backward slash or end-of-line. On Linux it is replaced no matter where it is in the text and ~someUser will be replaced by someUser's home directory (if 'someUser' is a user with a home directory). Hence, if

Hi, yes, I have seen this package and it has the same tilde expanding problem. Please excuse me I will cc this answer to r-help and r-devel to keep the discussion running.

It looks like a bug in R, but not necessarily a bug in libreadline: we may just be using tilde_expand improperly.

?path.expand Expand a path name, for example by replacing a leading tilde by the user's home directory (if defined on that platform). *A* path name. The argument is a character vector. If multiple path names are passed, they are passed On most builds of R *A LEADING* "~user" will be replaced... Nothing is said in the R documentation about *multiple* or *non-leading*

Hi Gabriel, I actually want to make renames over thousands of files. But if I am not able to express the source filename of the rename operation I will not be able to get the work done. Besides the fact that there are issues I think that R is qualified for solving my problem by the method how it can handle long vectors of strings, booleans and also lists. Kind regards, Frank On 2019-06-11

Hello, R 3.6.0 on Ubuntu 19.04. Since no one mentioned it, notice that the tilde in the middle of a string needs to be surrounded by spaces to be expanded. The first code line works as expected, only the second is wrong (buggy). path.expand('a~b') #[1] "a~b" path.expand('a ~ b') #[1] "a /home/rui b" Rui Barradas ?s 04:27 de 08/06/19, Richard O'Keefe

@ Gabriel: "Avoid tilde in file names": Not quite. A tilde *suffix* is commonly used by *nix editors for backup files https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/76189/what-does-the-tilde-mean-at-the-end-of-a-filename On Wed, Jun 12, 2019 at 2:43 AM Kurt Hornik <Kurt.Hornik at wu.ac.at> wrote: > >>>>> Duncan Murdoch writes: > > With c76695 in the trunk, we

At the risk of looking silly, note that all of this is now largely moot anyway (or will be with the next release of R), thanks to Kurt Hornik's fixing of the bug in question (which he announced on this thread prior to but I read after Paul's). ~G On Wed, Jun 12, 2019 at 11:51 PM Gabriel Becker <gabembecker at gmail.com> wrote: > > > On Wed, Jun 12, 2019, 5:16 AM Paul

Hi John, First, the unix and linux filesystem allows the use of any nonzero character in its filesystem filenames and the c functions open / fopen, symlink. rename, chdir and so on don't care about any tilde. If the open systemcall gets a file which begins with a tilde then it will try to open this filename without any preceding modification. So the tilde expansion is not really a unix

I've reproduced on ubuntu and winodws with R3.4.3 When the filepath contains a tilde, the result is NA. But if the file path is expanded then the function works. Example: tools::md5sum("~/.Rprofile") returns NA tools::md5sum(normalizePath("~/.Rprofile")) returns the proper md5 Perhaps this is expected behaviour because the documentation does say NA is returned for

Suppose I have a plot plot(1:10, pch = "") And I want some text to indicate a Normal distrubition. I could do this: text(5, 6, substitute(X~~~~N(mu, sigma^2)), adj = 0) text(5.35, 6, "~", adj = 0) But that's clumsy, and depending on your plotting device, might not even look sensible. I'd prefer to be able to do it more directly and simply the way these do: text(5,

Buenas para todos, tengo instalado r studio en windows y mi compilador de latex es winedit. En rstudio para Rnw no me acepta la tilde directamente solo con /' como hacer que acpte la tilde en Rnw siendo q en text acpeta sin problemas? [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Set up NIS and autofs on this new CentOS6 box, but it seems tilde expansion no longer works in bash?
