Hi, As I can see via path.expand a filename which contains a tilde anywhere gets automatically crippled.
+> path.expand("a ~ b") [1] "a /home/user b" +> path.expand("a ~ b ~") [1] "a /home/user b /home/user" I want to open a file regardless whether its name contains any character unless 0. The unix filesystem allow the creation of such files, it sould be possible to open these. How can I switch off any file crippling activity? Kind regards, Frank ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
