I have some functions that write an external text file for postprocessing by another program. Some instructions to the other program need to be indicated by null values (\000 or ^@). The function currently uses code like:
writeChar(rawToChar(as.raw(0)), con) where con is a connection to the file. Previous to version 2.8.0 this worked fine. With 2.8.0 it still works, but I get a warning message about "truncating string with embedded null: '\0'" every time. This is documented and not a bug, but I still find it annoying. One thing I could do is to turn off all warnings before doing this, but then if there is some other warning generated, then I will miss the other warning(s). Is there a better way to write the null to the text file? Or is there a way to suppress just this warning without suppressing any other warnings that may occur? Thanks, -- Gregory (Greg) L.
