Send a text string containing double quotes to function

Question

I\'m having a problem with using double quotes while formatting text strings being sent to functions in R.

Consider an example function code:

foo <         


        

Answer 1

Two ways I know. First is to just use single quotes to start and end the character string:

> cat( 'Learning "R" is fun!' )
Learning "R" is fun!

Second is to escape the double quotes:

> cat( "Learning \"R\" is fun!" )
Learning "R" is fun!

Note that this works because I use cat, which is intended to output strings to the console. It seems you use print() which shows the object rather than output it
