This warning comes from the parser, and only when parsing quoted strings. That is why it is hard to give any more information about where the error is: the parser does not know much about where in the input it is. (You can't even easily give the current string as you are in the middle of parsing it: I am working on that one.) > > Sorry for the noise. > > + seth > > ______________________________________________ > R-devel@r-project.org mailing list > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel > -- Brian D.
