Strange behaviour of setwd/getwd
Hello, Just to be complete, in my first answer I forgot to mention your 'default.wd'. There's no need to call getwd() to do what you want. tmp.wd <- choose.dir() default.wd <- setwd(tmp.wd) Hope this helps, Rui Barradas Em 02-11-2012 16:57, Markus Holotta escreveu:
I've found the following strange behaviour R (RStudio) which has been confirmed by another user in RGui. Inside a script I want to set two variables: default.wd = getwd() tmp.wd = setwd(choose.dir()) After choosing tmp.wd the value of default.wd is shown in Workspace, but getwd() is giving back the correct string of tmp.wd. Is there a workaround for the problem? I'm working on RStudio 0.96.228 and R 2.15.2. Regards Markus
