Reading a specific file during "R CMD check"?
Hi Spencer, I think one of the early phases of R CMD check is R CMD install - it installs the package into a special location so that it doesn't override existing installed packages, but still allows function to work exactly as if they were in an installed package.

Hello, All:

"\inst\rawdata" and have examples find the data using something like
"system.file('rawdata', package='MyPackage')". However, this will only work
if the desired data are already in a version of 'MyPackage' that is already
installed. ?If I change the data, this will return the old data, not the
modified. ?I've looked at packages RUnit and svUnit, but have not spent
enough time with either to know if they include a solution to this problem.
