hello Is it possible to execute Unix command from R prompt? for example ls cd ..
Both yes and no - I don't think you can change the working directory, because system() runs a shell process to termination:
system("pwd")
/home/rsb
system("cd tmp")
system("pwd")
/home/rsb
system("cd tmp; pwd")
/home/rsb/tmp
system("pwd")
/home/rsb Is there a way to do this too? Roger
