Most importantly, "\\" is a string literal containing ONE backslash character.
Yes you can create strings in R source code that represent Windows-style paths, but they
must APPEAR different in that context. You may find it helpful to know that the print
function can output escaped strings suitable for inclusion in R code, while the cat
function can output those same strings without the escaping.
Thanks for your answer,
I am familiar with the escape strings, but I was looking for a way to
convert copied path from windows:
working:
y=readline()
# paste f.e c:\foo1\foo2
y
[1] "c:\\foo1\\foo2"
but I was looking for
y=foo("c:\foo1\foo2").
because it is annoying to change all \ to \\ or to /
