filename of current device

Hi all,

how do I find out about the filename, the currently open (let's say pdf)
device is writing to?

If I find 'dev.cur()' returning 'pdf 3' when I expect 'nulldevice 1' I
would like to know, which file that pdf device is actually targeting.

Any help for my poor organization is highly appreciated...

Have your read the help file for pdf()? The first argument is the default naming mechanism:

file = ifelse(onefile, "Rplots.pdf", "Rplot%03d.pdf")

So if you call pdf() then it will write to the working directory with a named constructed from those choices.
Regards,
Andreas
