[R] How do I set the Windows temporary directory in R?
I'm trying to redirect where temporary files go under R to D:\temp\somerandomname from its default (C:\Documents and Settings\username\Temp\somerandomname) -- how do I go about doing this? --j -- Jonathan A.

[R] How do I set the Windows temporary directory in R?
Check help for tempfile() and tempdir() You can set an environment variable as discussed in the help to point to D:\temp>From ?tempfile:By default, the filenames will be in the directory given by tempdir(). This will be a subdirectory of the temporary directory found by the following rule. The environment variables TMPDIR, TMP and TEMP are checked in turn and the first found which points to a writable directory is used: if none succeeds ?/tmp? is used.
