[Rd] Sweave choking on \\ in filename

2010-11-29 Thread ONKELINX, Thierry
Dear all, Sweave chokes when using \\ in the path to the Rnw file. Using / works fine. The problem is that Eclipse+StatET uses \\ in the filename. And example of the error, traceback and sessionInfo are given below. Best regards, Thierry
