Hello, I am using setwd() to change the working directory but I have to enter it everytime I open R, is there a way to set this permanently as a working directory? Thanx =^D
Hi Anna, I create a .First function that is run when the session starts that looks like this: .First<-function () { options(editor="nedit",show.signif.stars=FALSE) source("SelectAnalysis.R") } This runs the file "SelectAnalysis.R" that looks like this: cat("(B)ullying\n(P)alatability\nR\n") answer<-toupper(readline("Enter the letter corresponding to the project - ")) if(answer == "B") setwd("/home/jim/research/bullying/R") if(answer == "P") setwd("/home/jim/research/palatability_heavydrink/R") if(answer == "R") setwd("/home/jim/R") print(list.files(pattern="[.]R")) I can then select whatever analysis I happen to be working on with a single letter (and newline) and see all of the ".R" and ".Rdata" files in that directory.
