Hmm I will try something like that

I just need a bit of confirmation If I am doing soemthing terribly wrong that 
might harm my filesystem.

I also did accidentaly
var<- -13
dir.create(paste('./',var))

which created a folder called -13 which I do not know how to remove it

  rmdir -13
rmdir: invalid option -- '1'
Try `rmdir --help' for more information.


In R:
  unlink("-13", recursive=TRUE)

or in your shell:

I guess your intated OS can do:


rm --help
which points you to:
rm -r -- -13

Subject: Re: [R] save at relative directory

Hi Alex,

Look at some of these functions:

apropos("dir")
apropos("exists")

Cheers,

Josh



Dear all,
I have a variable called thres and before I run a script I set it to a value
like
thres<- -10
at the end of the execution I am issuing a save(variablename,file='Results')
which will end up with a file saved at the current directory with the name 
Results

I would like though to use thres value and do the followingg
save at the directory called 10 so to get ./10/Results, (yes I want this in a 
relative order)

My question is how I can also check if the directory exists R to create it?

I would like to thank you in advance for your help

B.R
Alex
