Hi, This is my command line request: mysql -u root -ppassword -D quant <c:/cline.txt This line works from the command line in windows.
In R, when I try to use the system function, it does not work, > system(paste('mysql -u root -ppassword -D quant <c:/cline.txt'),show.output.on.console = TRUE) ERROR 1102 (42000): Incorrect database name '<c:/cline.txt' It seems that the "<" caracter is not recognized as an attribute.
