Dear all, is there any function to assert whether a file path is legitimate, and to convert any potential file path to a legitimate file path?
I automate a batch of files and write them to plain text files with cat(). The file argument of cat() is generated automatically which may contain characters such as ? < >, unacceptable in Windows OS. What I do at this moment is to strip such characters off with gsub(). Is there any direct way to make legitimate file path without detailed knowledge about the naming rule specific to a OS?
