Subject: source problem
Hi,
I'm trying to call an R script from the command-line ("firstScript.r"
below). This script then sources another script in another directory
using the absolute path to the file
("/home/john/R_script/secondScript.r"). That script then needs to
source an R script in the same directory using a relative path
("thirdScript.r"). Neither script should know that it is being
sourced. For example,
/usr/local/algo/R/script/firstScript.r
/home/john/R_script/secondScript.r
/home/john/R_script/thirdScript.r
However, I am getting a message that this last file cannot be found.
I've changed the chdir and local attributes of source to TRUE and this
does not seem to change the behavior. Is there a way to do this without
passing the absolute path to the R files around? Thanks for any help
you can offer.
John
