Hello, It is difficult searching for previous posts about this since the keywords are short and ambiguous, so I hope this is not a duplicate question.
I can easily declare an array on the command line. $ names=(X Y) $ echo ${names[0]} X I am unable to do the same from within R. > system("names=(X Y)") sh: Syntax error: "(" unexpected Reading the documentation for the system function, it appears to only be relevant for executing commands. What can I do instead to declare a BASH array ? Thanks. -------------------------------------- Dario Strbenac PhD Student University of Sydney Camperdown NSW 2050 Australia ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
