Subject: [Rd] tk_choose.filesn () (tcltk) intolerant of whitespace (PR#13875)
Message-ID: <20090806125512.601B52831FE1@mail.pubhealth.ku.dk>

Full_Name: Derek Eder
Version: 2.9.1
OS: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu 
Submission from: (NULL) (130.241.91.3)


Function "tk_choose.files" (tcltk) is intolerant of filenames which contain
whitespace.
In that case, the return value is character vector of whitespace separated
chunks. See example below.


Thank you,


Derek Eder



>     myChoice <- tk_choose.files(filter = Filters, multi=FALSE)


      # select file: "tk_choose.files test _file .r"   # note white space!



> myChoice
[1] "/home/derek/projects/VINKLA/STUDIES/Opanayiko/R/tk_choose.files"
[2] "test"                                                            
[3] "_file"                                                           
[4] ".r"  



# OK, I can work around this
> paste(myChoice,collapse=" ")
[1] "{/home/derek/projects/VINKLA/STUDIES/Opanayiko/R/tk_choose.files test _file
.r}"
