The paste is doing the right thing -- it is how it is displayed that matters:
> jj <- paste("hello", "\"world\"")
> jj
[1] "hello \"world\""
> cat(jj)
hello "world"> print(jj, quote=FALSE)
[1] hello "world"Patrick Burns

Hello,
I would like to write in a variable the following string :
Hello "World"
If I do cat("Hello ","\"World\""), I have the good result on the screen but it can not be affected to a variable. If I do the same thing with paste paste("Hello ","\"World\"") it does not work since \" seems to be not recognized. So what is the trick to do that.
Thanks,
Philippe
