You can embed hex escapes in strings (except \x00). The value(s) that you embed will depend on the character encoding used on you platform. If this is UTF-8, or some other ASCII compatible encoding, \x20 will work:
> "foo\x20bar" [1] "foo bar" > For other locales, you might try charToRaw(" ") to see the binary (hex) representation for the space character on your platform, and substitute this sequence instead.
