search for: getwd

Is there any way to make list.files(getwd()) or list.files(getwd(),full.names=TRUE) stop returning directories? Right now both appear to return both file names and folders within the location. I would like for it only to return file names and not folders. I am using this on Windows with R version 2.9.0 (2009-04-17). Thank you agai...

I've found the following strange behaviour R (RStudio) which has been confirmed by another user in RGui. Inside a script I want to set two variables: default.wd = getwd() tmp.wd = setwd(choose.dir()) After choosing tmp.wd the value of default.wd is shown in Workspace, but getwd() is giving back the correct string of tmp.wd. Is there a workaround for the problem? I'm working on RStudio 0.96.228 and R 2.15.2. Regards Markus

Hi folks, OS - Ubuntu 10.04 On R I create a datafile named "data". I can evoke it on R with; > data On R Commander Data -> Active data set -> Select active data set -> (data) OK only one data set there "data" -> View data set I can read it -> Edit data set showing 25 rows of data. Clicking the box shows a thick border around it. But I couldn't

AFAIK a script run through source() does not have any legit way to learn about it's own location. I need this to make sure that the script will find its datafiles after I move the whole directory. (The datafiles are in the same directory.) Here is a hack I invented to work around it: print(getwd()) source_pathname = get("ofile",envir = parent.frame()) source_dirname = dirname(source_pathname ) setwd(source_dirname) print(getwd()) Question: Is there a better, cleaner way? Thanks, mrgomel [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hello All, It appears that something is still not right with my linux systems. I can compile R (ie make and make install) but make check fails. It appears that the getwd and setwd functions don't work -- getwd returns gibberish. Thus I can run the graphics demo until it tries to read in the iris data. I'll admit I've done maybe too much to these systems to be able to get R to compile again, but some hints as to where the problem might be would be he...

...o change directory to the second from the first - it works when I put the entire path but not the tilde - what am I missing?

Hi, The tkfilefind demo in the tcltk package doesn't seem to work for me in Windows2000. The demo script uses tkfilefind(".") which doesn't display the parent directory so you can't browse around the whole drive. Using tkfilefind() (which uses the default path getwd()) doesn't seem to work for me at all. I also tried tkfilefind("/") which worked fine but then using > a<-tkfilefind("/") > a [1] "//jm2.null.mc.img" > library(AnalyzeFMRI) > f.analyze.file.summary(a) causes R to crash i.e. using "//jm2.null....

Hi, I've been trying to set the directory for choose.files as follows: [R2.9.0 running on XP] setwd("C:/Documents and Settings/2/Data") getwd() infile2 = choose.files(filters = Filters[c("txt","All"),], caption = "Choose ECD datafile") #<...do a bunch of stuff...> It appears the working directory isn't updated until after choose.files() executes. getwd() returns the correct path, as set by setw...

...g '/home/philip/tmp/GlobalAncova /var/tmp/philip/misc/GlobalAncova' (i.e. including the new line. Incidentally, /home/philip/tmp dir is a symlink to /var/tmp/philip/misc; hence the non-identical directory names). A simple fix (cd "${1}" > /dev/null 2>&1 && ${GETWD}) takes care of this, and should work under sh, ksh, bourne shell, zsh. A context diff is attached; I hope this will prove useful.

...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]] [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

There are two ways to express file paths with the Windows environment: > a=file.choose() > a [1] "C:\\Documents and Settings\\rbaer\\Desktop\\_VNT_Test\\coordFocused 20k F5 0ng Ki8751 t20.txt" and >b= paste(getwd(),"/",dir()[1],sep="") >b [1] "C:/Documents and Settings/rbaer/Desktop/_VNT_Test/coordFocused 20k F5 0ng Ki8751 t20.txt" I have 2 questions: 1. Is it possible to get file.choose() to use the forward slash rather than the escaped back slash. It would be nice if i...

Hello, I was wondering how to evaluate a string variable in R. eg. > avar <- "getwd()" > eval(avar) gives: [1] "getwd()" but I would like to see: [1] "/home/myhomedir" Thanks, Jeremiah

If the last line of an R script does not have a trailing newline, a small errror is produced at the end of the script. Small example. If file eg.r contains one line: getwd() and there is no newline after the closing paren $ R CMD BATCH eg.r produces an error: $ cat eg.r.Rout R : Copyright 2005, The R Foundation for Statistical Computing Version 2.1.1 Patched (2005-09-01), ISBN 3-900051-07-0 ... > getwd()proc.time() Error: syntax error Execution halted $ Is...
