Possibly overkill, I use a Windows batch file that calls a perl script.
Both the bat and pl files need to be in the executable path. Open a
command prompt, type `pwd ' and then drag the file or folder from the
Windows Explorer to the cmd. The script will return the file with
backslashes converted to forward slashes. Then I copy and paste from the
cmd window into my R script.
c:\>more c:\bin\batch\pwd.BAT
@echo off
c:\bin\batch\pwd.pl %1
c:\>more c:\bin\batch\pwd.pl
#! /usr/bin/perl -w
# prints pwd with forward slashes for R
use File::Basename;
#print $#ARGV;
if ($#ARGV == -1) {
$pwd = `cd`;
chomp $pwd;
}
else {
$pwd = $ARGV[0];
}
$pwd =~ s|\\|\/|g;
print "$pwd";
-P.
