Unluckily I dela with miRNA files whose name may contain the character "*". Because of the special meaning of "*" I have to remove it. I found out how to make list.files() extract only those file names which contain a "*" Namely: # list.files(pattern="\\*")
Now I have to process all files whose name does NOT contain the character "*". I cannot have list.files() extract all files whose name does NOT match pattern="\\* I tried using "^" in such a pattern but nothing is returned. Any suggestion is welcome. Thank you so much, Maura tutti i telefonini TIM!
