[R] parsing files with "\" character

[Michael Dewey]

Dear April

Can you show us an example of what you are trying to do and how it 
fails? There are rules about backspaces but I find that if one backspace 
does not work try two, three, four until it works. It would be better to 
understand the rules but life is short.
