backslashConverter: backslashConverter()

In kluter/LCquickVieweR: LULC Detection through False Color Images

Description

Since backslash is a special operator to suppress metacharacters or escape sequences, it can’t be escaped without a second backslash. This function formats every backslash into a forwardslash.

Usefull for pasting win-directories.

How it works:

(+) the function backslashConverter calls another function – readline() and saves your copied directory into the variable x.

(+) readline() converts every single \ (from your directory) into a double \. This way R won’t throw an error anymore.

(+) gsub() matches every double \ in the string x and replaces it with /.

Usage

# execute blank:
backslashConverter()
# then input string.
