All,
1. I will try and make this clear and concise. Please let me know any
information that would be helpful in figuring out this problem (I
don't know the relevant information to post). I am on linux- see below
for session information.
2. Problem:
working directory: home
an old version of a function is sourced into the R session and doesn't
work
working directory: Desktop
the new version of the function is soured into the R session and works
3. I have setup a R_scripts folder that houses R scripts that I use on
a regular basis, and I have set up my .Rprofile (below) to source
these files when R is invoked.
What should I do?
.Rprofile:
###nothing yet###
print("It's go time")
#######################################################
#####source my R_scripts directory on start up#########
#######################################################
scripts2source <- dir("/home/user/R_scripts", full.names=TRUE)
R_scripts <- grep(".*\\.R$", scripts2source)
scripts2source <- scripts2source[R_scripts]
for(i in 1:length(scripts2source)){
source(scripts2source[i])
}
