Hey, two questions regarding setwd and list.files: I try to use the function list.files:
datapath<-'/nfs/home/m/cremer/gaw/data/traws_chrs'
fl<-list.files(datapath, pattern="\\.tped")
but I get the following error message: Warning message: In list.files(datapath, pattern = "\\.tped") : list.files: '/nfs/home/m/cremer/gaw/data/traws_chrs/' is not a readable directory
fl
character(0) The use of setwd also does not work:
setwd(datapath)
Error in setwd(datapath) : cannot change working directory datapath exists and it doesn't matter whether I use single quotes ' or double quotes " Any help? Lars
You do not have read privileges to the path in question. Either you or your SysAdmin will have to grant the appropriate privileges so that you can read the files in the path. HTH, Marc Schwartz
