[R] Windows path backward slash

[Anbu A]

Thanks, Jeff. The reason I am creating the function is I have to read some
more datasets too. I have also modified the code as per your suggestion. I
have to send the dataset name in parameter in subsequent calls.

fsasdat<-function(dsn) {
  pat="C:\\Users\\Anbu\\Desktop\\sas\\"
  str1=str_c(pat,dsn,".sas7bdat","\n")
  read_sas("C:\\Users\\Anbu\\Desktop\\sas\\all.sas7bdat")
}
allmetrx=fsasdat("all")
This code works but if I use  read_sas(str1) it is not working. Any
suggestions, please let me know.

Thanks,
Anbu.
