Sub-Directories
3 messages · Michael Grant, MacQueen, Don, Ista Zahn
I would suggest that you think in terms of several different working directories, one for each project and located wherever you want, rather than a "WorkingDirectory" with sub-directories. Then, when you start R, learn how to set its working directory to a project's directory. That will keep your R work for each project independent of the others. As to how you set the working directory in Windows R, there are at least two ways: 1) use the setwd() command at the R prompt 2) use some R console menu command (and here I can't help you, because I don't use Windows) The documentation on the Windows console will tell you of at least one other way... And someone who uses Windows R will give a better answer! -Don

Hi Michael, I see some confusion here. The objects() command does not list "objects in the WorkingDirectory", but objects in your R environment. R environments do not have directories or sub-directories, so I'm finding your question very confusing. Can you clarify? Best, Ista On Thu, Jul 26, 2012 at 5:12 PM, Michael Grant

I can create them, and create R objects within the sub-directories but (a) the objects() command lists ONLY the objects in the WorkingDirectory and none of those in the sub-directory although I can use them (if I remember their names!). I'm an old (and I do mean old!) UNIX user now working in a Windows environment. I'm sure there is a simple way to do this but I seem unable to discover it. I'd like to have several different 'projects' going at the same time, with each being unrecognized by the other within R.
Many thanks,
Michael Grant
