Within R how could I try to use this unix command
printf "%s\t" NAMES n{1..1600} >file_o
Trying
system(paste("printf \"%s\t\" NAMES n{1..1600} >file_o"))
causes no message, but it does not create the same output. The file is just
NAMES n{1..1600}
when it should be
NAMES n1 n2 (/t in betwen up to the max number )
the comments indicate that this might have somethign to do with the OS - on ubuntu it doesnt work neither on Debian
