This is a fairly-frequently asked question, and the questioner is rarely satisfied with the answer. How is your script starting? Either: a) R is starting in that directory, so that the working directory is already set, or b) Whatever runs the script knows where it is in order to start it, so could pass that directory to the script somehow, either by a global parameter, or an environment variable. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
