R help - Nov 2011 - dir.create() does not create directory

Hello,

I am running Windows 7 and R-2.13 in StatET. 

When I try to create a directory it does not print any errors but if I check
outside eclipse if it exists or do a refresh in Eclipse the directory is not
been created. The strange thing is that it happens only to some
sub-folders... On the other hand when I use the normal windows explorer in
one of these sub-folders and create a folder it works.

Any ideas? I also tried the mode="777" option but still the same
problem


Cheers,

syrvn

I'm not a Windows man, but have you tried in the R CLI or GUI rather than
Eclipse? That would help narrow down the problem.

Also, if you could provide a minimal example for those who have Windows boxes
that'd be great - though admittedly it sounds hard here.

As an outline, something like:

sessionInfo()
setwd()
list.files()
create.dir()
list.files() 

should suffice.
