[R] How to check if file is on a drive?
Hello, everyone How would I check in R if a particular file (Excel file) is in a particular folder on a particular drive? I am writing a piece of code around that file, using xls.open() in xlsReadWritePro to open the file in memory and use it. But before I try to open the file I want to catch the possibility of the file not being on the drive. Thank you in advance!
