write.csv(iris, file.path(d, "iris.csv"))
write.csv(mtcars, file.path(d, "mtcars.csv"))
write.csv(airquality, file.path(d, "airquality.csv"))

# Add some to a new archive
a <- archive_write_files("data.tar.gz", c("iris.csv", "mtcars.csv"))
setwd(old)
a

# Add all files in a directory
a <- archive_write_dir("data.zip", d)
