[R] The program can't stop when searches over all files under folders and subfolders

[Rui Barradas]

Hello,

The following will probably not solve the problem but I would

1. use pattern = "\\.wma$" in list.files;
2. use sub, not gsub, in

sub("\\.wma$", ".mp3", i)


Hope this helps,

Rui Barradas
