is used to set
the working directory to dir
.

Usage
getwd()
setwd(dir)
Arguments
- dir
- A character string: tilde expansion will be done.
Value
getwd
returns a character string or NULL
if the working
directory is not available.
On Windows the path returned will use /
as the path separator
and be encoded in UTF-8. The path will not have a trailing /
unless it is the root directory (of a drive or share on Windows).setwd
returns the current directory before the change,
invisibly and with the same conventions as getwd
. It will give
an error if it does not succeed (including if it is not implemented).
Note
Note that the return value is said to be an absolute filepath: there can be more than one representation of the path to a directory and on some OSes the value returned can differ after changing directories and changing back to the same directory (for example if symbolic links have been traversed).
See Also
list.files
for the contents of a directory.
normalizePath
for a canonical path name.
Examples
library(base)
(WD <- getwd())
if (!is.null(WD)) setwd(WD)
