Hello,

It's better to keep this on the list, the odds of getting more and better answers are greater. You need to type getwd() with the parenthesis and no arguments. It always returns something (the current wd).

Hi Rui,
Nothing of value is returned by getwd either.

    Hello,

    The function setwd returns the previous working directory invisibly
    so "nothing happens" might mean that there is no apparent feedback.
    You can see if it changed the wd with getwd().

    Hope this helps,

    Rui Barradas

        Hello,

        And what are you expecting the command "setwd" to do?

            I open up the GUI and type setwd("c:/users/jon") and press
            return. Nothing
            happens, Ive tried manuals, forums etc ...

            An ex-student needs help using this program.  I spent 7
            years as an IT
            consultant before becoming a maths teacher so Im better than
            average with
            IT and I cant get it to do anything at all.  What's up?  Any
            help greatly
            appreciated.
