Output of R babel blocks with quotes is mangled/truncated

Output of R babel blocks with quotes is mangled/truncated

[Viktor Rosenfeld]

Hi,

if a value outputted by R in a Babel block contains quotes only the
quoted parted is exported.

Consider this:

#+BEGIN_SRC R
q = 'cat="S"'
q
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:
: S

The expected result would be entire string, i.e. 'cat="S"' (without
single quotes). Is there a workaround? I've tried escaping with
backslashes to no avail.

Cheers,
Viktor

Try 

#+begin_src R  :results verbatim
q = 'cat="S"'
q

#+end_src

This is not a solution since I want to output vectors or data frames
from R as a table.

E.g. the following should return a table, but verbatim returns a quoted
block which I cannot use further in my processing:

#+NAME: quote-mangling
#+BEGIN_SRC R
q = c('cat="S"', 'pos="VVFIN"')
q
#+END_SRC

I also tried an extra newline at the end, but it makes no difference.

Cheers,
Viktor
