Subject: [Rd] Bug in Sys.which()?
Message-ID: <CAF42j21Be80gVe3s3UVqz4cFSC54_kB_Co9TVfrfQBz+NHpEZQ@mail.gmail.com>

At a Windows command prompt:
C:\>which ls
/cygdrive/c/Rtools215/bin/ls

C:\>which perl
/cygdrive/c/perl/bin/perl

In R:
> Sys.which(c("ls", "perl"))
                         ls                        perl
"c:\\RTOOLS~3\\bin\\ls.exe"                          ""

Is this expected behavior?
