Hello all,

Sorry if this question has been answered in the past, but I could not find
an answer.

I am trying to print quotes within a cat output. The arguments are:

file= "Data labels"
directory= "/home/mylaptop/"

The function returns:
cat("The file", file, "is located in directory", directory, sep=" ")

The output R prints is

The file Data labels is located in directory /home/mylaptop/

But I want "Data labels" and "/home/mylaptop/" to be in quotation marks.

I find examples using "\", such as

cat("Open fnd \"test\"")

But in my case "test" is an argument.

See ?dQuote. (Read it carefully: some people don't like directional quotes, and dQuote might give them to you.)
