[R] sprintf doesn't care of escape characters

Hi. I am having trouble with something that should be simple. I am unable to get sprintf using escape sequences: > sprintf("a\nb") [1] "a\nb" > sprintf("a\"bc\"d") [1] "a\"bc\"d" But it seems to need them any way: > sprintf("a\"bc"d") Error: unexpected symbol in "sprintf("a\"bc"d" Any suggest
