[R] Error in setwd(dir) : cannot change working directory
Hello, I got some of the R source code and not being able to Run it in RStudio. I get the error: Error in setwd("dir") : cannot change working directory I have gone through forums but nothing seemed relevant to my issue. What bugs me the most is the ("dir") that the error shows, is of those who wrote the source code and not mine(it still sees the directory of their computer, even though, I have changed all the directories). When I write getwd(), it dispalys my "dir". Does anyone have any ideas on what's going on here? Thank you -- Greg Lyukshin [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Unless you have a subdirectory called "dir" below the directory returned by getwd(), the command you gave would be expected to fail. Perhaps you should use an absolute directory specification? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jeff Newmiller The ..... ..... Go Live...
