Re: [R] Running source() on a file in another directory

Thanks a lot! It seems to work fine now with what you suggested. I also tried another approach by running the following on the terminal R -f ~dir1/prog.R and it read in some lines in prog.R, but then the execution halted at one point for some reason I could not figure out. Any way I could get R

[R] Running source() on a file in another directory

Suppose I have a file prog.R stored in a directory under ~/dirname, and ~/dirname is set in a shell script file (e.g. .cshrc) as one of the accessible paths on terminal. On a different directory I could run prog.R interactively by executing source(~/dirname/prog.R) It seems that source() does

Re: [R] Running source() on a file in another directory

Suppose p is a vector of paths, e.g., p - c(~/dir1, ~/dir2/dir3) Then the following will return the full pathname of the first found location: Find(file.exists, file.path(p, prog.R)) so you can source that. On Wed, Oct 1, 2008 at 6:09 PM, Gang Chen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Suppose I have a
