Hello,
1. Try path.expand().
flname <- path.expand("~/Baseball/RetroSheetDocumentation/ari18.test2.rda")
2. To load in the global environment
load(flname, envir = .GlobalEnv)
3. But read the docs. From ?load:
load(<file>) replaces all existing objects with the same names in the
current environment (typically your workspace, .GlobalEnv) and hence
potentially overwrites important data. It is considerably safer to use
envir = to load into a different environment, or to attach(file) which
load()s into a new entry in the search path.
So Duncan's suggestion to create a new environment and load the data
there might be sound advice. Check if your data set exists in the
.GlobalEnv first, then load() it.
ls(pattern = "^ari", envir = .GlobalEnv)
Hope this helps,

The working directory seems to be correct when I load an .rda file but
it is not there and it is not in the Global Environment in the upper
right hand window in RStudio.

Somehow ari18.test3 loaded but ari18.test2 will not.
What am I missing here?
The filename (~/Baseball/RetroSheetDocumentation/ari18.test2.rda) has no
connection to the variables that would be created when you load it.
Finding out what's in that file isn't obvious: you need to load it into
an empty location (either your global environment in a clean new
session, or one created specially for the purpose). E.g.
env <- new.env()
load("~/Baseball/RetroSheetDocumentation/ari18.test2.rda", envir = env)
ls(envir = env)
This will load the object(s) from that file into the environment env.
You could copy them from there to somewhere else, use them from there,
or just load again into the global environment, now you know what you're
getting.
