Note that sink("./mung.txt") gives the same result as sink("mung.txt"). I.e. the "./" is redundant. If you have a directory "gorp" in your current directory, then sink("gorp/mung.txt") will put the sink() output into the file "mung.txt" in the directory "gorp". <SNIP> cheers, Rolf Turner -- Technical Editor ANZJS Department of Statistics University of Auckland Phone: +64-9-373-7599 ext. 88276

In my experience, any path that can be used at the shell prompt in a unix-alike
can be used anywhere that R wants a file name.
[that is, when running R on a unix-alike system, and when pwd at the shell
prompt returns the same value as getwd() in R]
Hopefully, that helps...

Duncan,
Using linux (and perhaps other unices) ./ and / refer to the current
directory. My code, to print to the sub-directory
(../analyses/stat-summaries/) when the script is being run in ../analyses:
sink('stat-summaries/estacada-wnw-precip.txt')
print(/summary(estacada_wnw_wx))
sink()
Rich

I showed R rejecting: sink('stat-summaries/estacada-se-precip.txt') print(summary(estacada_se_wx)) sink() while accepting: pdf('../images/rainfall-estacada-se.pdf') <snip xyplot() function> plot(rain_est_se) dev.off() Changing the sink() file to './stat-summaries/estacada-se-precip.txt' generates the same error while I regularly use this syntax to copy files or specify the relative path to an executable file.

I.e. the above should be print(summary(estacada_wnw_wx)), not print(/summary(estacada_wnw_wx)) (do you notice the difference?). The rest of your sequence of commands is fine. -- Best regards, Ivan

I've now installed lintr and will use that on all my scripts before I run them. Regards, Rich
