Putting directory path as a parameter
file.path() is much better for this than paste(), e.g. dir <- "C:/Users/Desktop" pathname <- file.path(dir, "bs_dev_segment_file.csv") temp_data <- read.csv(pathname) /Henrik On Tue, Nov 15, 2011 at 10:08 AM, R. Michael Weylandt

Try pasting them together like paste(dir, "...") You may need to use the collapse argument. Alternatively, change your working directory to dir with setwd(). M On Nov 15, 2011, at 9:12 AM, aajit75 <aajit75 at yahoo.co.in> wrote:
Hi List,
I am new to R, this may be simple.
I want to store directory path as parameter which in turn to be used while
reading and writing data from csv files.
How I can use dir defined ?in the below mentioned example while reading the
csv file.
Example:
dir <- "C:/Users/Desktop" #location of file
temp_data <- read.csv("dir/bs_dev_segment_file.csv")
If I run this it will show errors:
Error in file(file, "rt") : cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning message:
In file(file, "rt") :
?cannot open file 'dir/bs_dev_segment_file.csv': No such file or directory
Regards,
-Ajit
