Hello, All:

How can I obtain the location of an example data file in a package during "R CMD check"?


I want to include sample raw data files in a package and have them read by a function in the package. It occurs to me to put such a file in "\inst\rawdata" and have examples find the data using something like "system.file('rawdata', package='MyPackage')". However, this will only work if the desired data are already in a version of 'MyPackage' that is already installed. If I change the data, this will return the old data, not the modified. I've looked at packages RUnit and svUnit, but have not spent enough time with either to know if they include a solution to this problem.


      Thanks for your help.
      Spencer
