Dear list,
I have a small feature request regarding the implementation of
'file.path()':
It'd be great if 'file.path()' would allow to specify an input *vector*
instead of solely rely on a specification via the three dot argument.
AFAIU, currently it's only possible to "manually" specify each path
component via the three dot argument:
> file.path(letters[1], letters[2], letters[3])
[1] "a/b/c"
Providing a vector object will result in the same vector being returned,
instead of a slash separated scalar:
> file.path(letters[1:3])
[1] "a" "b" "c"
It'd be great if the last call would have this result:
> file.path(letters[1:3])
[1] "a/b/c"
If that's already possible, I'd appreciate a pointer. If not: thanks a
lot for considering this,
Best regards,
Janko
