But when I do this I need x value to be " C:\Program
Files\R\R-2.4.0\bin\Rgui.exe" and not C:\\Program
Files\\R\\R-2.4.0\\bin\\Rgui.exe"

Try this:

> x <- readline()
C:\Program Files\R\R-2.4.0\bin\Rgui.exe
> x
[1] "C:\\Program Files\\R\\R-2.4.0\\bin\\Rgui.exe"



You can also use

   readLines("clipboard")

if you are trying to read in something from the clipboard.
