Hi.
I am having trouble with something that should be simple. I am unable
to get sprintf using escape sequences:
> sprintf("a\nb")
[1] "a\nb"
> sprintf("a\"bc\"d")
[1] "a\"bc\"d"
But it seems to need them any way:
> sprintf("a\"bc"d")
Error: unexpected symbol in "sprintf("a\"bc"d"
Any suggestion on how to solve this issue?
My R system:
> version

arch x86_64
os linux-gnu
system x86_64, linux-gnu

Thanks.
