similar to: Strange behaviour of setwd/getwd

I installed R on my Windows laptop in C:\Program Files\R\R-2.15.2 and am able to open RGUI (640bit), see packages and run commands. However, when I test the installation and run the basic tests and all the tests on the standard and recommended packages i.e.: library("tools") testInstalledBasic("both") testInstalledPackages("base", errorsAreFatal

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

In my .Rprofile I have the following functions which display the current directory in the main R window title bar, and modify base::setwd() to keep this up to date. I like this because I can always tell where I am in the file system. cd <- function(dir) { base::setwd(dir) utils::setWindowTitle( short.path(base::getwd()) ) } short.path <- function(dir, len=2) { np

Hello when I close and reopen R it gives back a different wd than what I used in setwd. how can I get it to permenently use dirname in setwd("dirname") and not the other name it keeps defaulting to? I am using W2K and ESS thanks

Dear friends - windows R 3.3.3 - sorry to ask a simple question - but I cannot make setwd work properly in scripts In the example below I have made a directory in C (firstdir) and a directory in that (secdir) and the intention is to change directory to the second from the first - it works when I put the entire path but not the tilde - what am I missing? I was around rwf 2.14 as per the help

[Env: Win XP, R 2.14.2, R 2.15.0] I have a replacement function for setwd() in my .Rprofile which displays the current R path in the R window title. It no longer works in R 2.15.x, giving the error below. Worse, the error prevents the rest of my .Rprofile script from completing. Is there some way to rescue this, i.e., preserve this behavior in R 2.15? If not, how can I modify my script so it

Ni idea de eso; te lo agradezco. Seguramente lo voy a terminar usando bastante. Pregunto: ahí debería hacer todas las operaciones propias del sistema? No me encuentra el script, y se me hace raro. Capaz que pasa al sistema desde la carpeta en la que está el script de R, no desde el wd de R. Ahora me toca salir y después intentar probar y que funcione.

Below is a patch for setwd() to show path in error message. Current it just gives error messages such as: Error in setwd(libdir) : cannot change working directory with the patch it should (read untested) give: Error in setwd(libdir) : cannot change working directory to 'path/that/fails/' PATCH: % diff -u util.c "util,patch.c" --- util.c 2012-12-16 13:13:05.002249900

In my .Rprofile for Windows, I had the following functions defined to mirror a few features I miss from linux: (a) replace setwd() with a version that stashes the current directory so it can be easily restored (b) writes a short version of the current R directory to the Windows title bar: I can always see where I am, with multiple Rgui windows. (c) creates a cd() shorthand for setwd(), but

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

Hi all, I am learning R by "doing". And this is my first post. I want to use R: 1- to fetch a DNA sequence from a databank (see bellow) and 2- store it as FASTA file. The problem: neither an error is prompted nor the fasta file is created. Testing the code (see bellow), I notice that everything works until the *"write.dna" *command - which is not creating the fasta file.

Hi Guys, I am new to R and just trying to write a small script to automate a couple commands. But I run into the setwd(): cannot change working directory. I googled a little bit and tried all fixes/suggestions with no success. Basically I have a script that works from inside a directory with my data (/home/sean/Rtest/Data01). Now I want to modify the script to make it run from the upper directory

In a number of places internal to R, we need to know which files have changed (e.g. after building a vignette). I've just written a general purpose function "changedFiles" that I'll probably commit to R-devel. Comments on the design (or bug reports) would be appreciated. The source for the function and the Rd page for it are inline below. ----- changedFiles.R: changedFiles

Hi I run R in Windows. Is there a simple way of changing the prompt symbol ">" to, say, "R>" ? (Not just for a temporary session, but every time R command window is opened.) The documentation of doing this is rather "sparse". Much appreciated for your assistance. Jacob Jacob L van Wyk Department of Statistics University of Johannesburg, APK P O Box 524

Hola, amigos Se me acabo la sapienza. A ver: tengo un sript de Python script.py que neesita sus argumentos arg1 arg2 arg3, si desde la consola del sistema me pongo en la carpeta en la que lo tengo y hago: $ script.py arg1 arg arg3 Funciona perfecto. Pero desde R no lo consigo (entiendo que por no saber) Lo hago así (copio y pego): dir <- getwd() setwd('data/row/directoriocondatos/')

I suspect you meant WD <- "~/Documents/Scripting/R_Studio/Sequences/" but I am entirely unfamiliar with the packages you are using, and know nothing about what is on your hard drive. For future reference: A) Read the Posting Guide. This is a plain text email list, and your html formatting gets removed leaving a mess that is not always readable. B) Most frequent users of R

I believe file.choose() remembers the last choice, and repeats that location the next time you call it. This is true when it is called at top level or from within a function. The first time you call it in a session, it will default to the current working directory, but not after that. Front ends are allowed to replace the underlying function, so that may depend on which front end you are

Hello, I am trying to create multiple scatter plot graphs. I have 1 independent variable (Age - weeks post conception) and 18 dependent variables ("Gene n" Expression) in one csv file. Is there a way to set up a looped function to produce 18 individual scatterplots? At the moment, I am writing the plot() function out 18 times to make the 18 graphs. My code is below and csv file is

Dear list, I have a problem with nested functions and I don't manage to get it solved. I know I should be looking in environments, and I have tried a lot, but it keeps on erroring. An easy version of the problem is as follows: innerfunction<-function() { print(paste(a, " from inner function")) print(paste(b, " from inner function")) setwd(wd) }
