I want to set default directory for R when I start R. How to do this?
Hi Aimin, There is a discussion of how to set up different start up commands, usually for attaching to icons, in "Kickstarting R": http://cran.r-project.org/doc/contrib/Lemon-kickstart/kr_start.html You can also write an R file that can branch to a number of different directories on start up. Basically a bunch of statements like: cat("(C)at studies\n") cat("(D)og studies\n") ... answer<-readline("") if(toupper(strsplit(answer,"")[1]) == "C") setwd("/home/jim/cats") if(toupper(strsplit(answer,"")[1]) == "D") setwd("/home/jim/dogs") ...
