Hello,
It is very simple question. I want to go to the parent directory and
give the 'system("cd ../") commnad. But it stayes at the same dirctory
as before. Do I forget to give some extra parameter to system command in
this case?
Regards,
Nader

That launches a shell, changes working directory in that shell, then quits.
setwd("..") should do what I guess you intended, change the working
directory of the R process itself.
