Dynamic variables in mothur for windows

mothur bugs

I did not work with Monthur for a while… and cannot recall this topic. Can Mothur for Windows recognize $VAR for dynamic substitution? Should we use hardcoding while in Windows? The test variant below collapsed; logfile is empty.

set.dir(output=processed\V4)
set.logfile(name=V4test.log, append=t)
set.current(processors=12)
DATA=raw_data\V4
TYPE=gz
PROJ_O=testV4
make.file(inputdir=$DATA, type=$TYPE, prefix=$PROJ_O, numcols=3)

Note: setting up variables prior running mothur and using %% with make.file got no success.

Merci!
