R help - Mar 2016 - how to get the 'starting directory'

Hi, it's very difficult for me to understand the fullrefman.pdf document !!!

I open a R script that is in the Git\reposit\gesdyn\jm directory. I
'type' alt + ctrl + R to run it. I would like to get
'Git\reposit\gesdyn\jm' in a variable ...

Getwd() gives something like users\jm\mydocuments

Hi

I am not an expert in making R scripts but what you see probably means that your
R session starts in users\jm\mydocuments directory which is set as your working
directory.

AFAIK there are basically 2 directories - one with  location of R program
D:\programy\R-devel\bin\i386\Rgui.exe

and one from which the R program is started.

O:\Dokumenty\STAT\pracovni
(this is Windows, I do not have experience with Linux/Mac machines)

So your way of starting a script leads to starting from

users\jm\mydocuments

directory. I also recommend to consult Rlang.pdf manual for programming
questions.

As Alt+Ctrl+R does nothing on my PC I searched what it can mean and I found that
it is shortcut of R-studio for opening a document. Am I right? If yes it can be
a feature of Rstudio.

maybe others more experienced users can give you better answer.

Anyway you can help us to help you if you provide as full info as you can
afford.

Cheers
Petr

Thanks Petr,

ALT + CTRL + R is a shortcut in RSTUDIO to RUN ALL

As I shall work with another developer, I installed GIT (a source manager) but
now R 'bombs'. I have 3 versions of my R sources (in fact a file with
the 'master' and one with all the functions) : one project within Git,
one project on a server and the last project on my local machine.

Having the starting directory can give me, in the console or in a text file, the
project being used.

In other words I start RStudio in a directory and change projects, each being in
its own directory

Is that more clear ?

Jean
