Not sure exactly what the original poster was after, but for
distinguishing when I am working on different machines with different
OS, I use something like this:
### Set some state variables
opSys <- Sys.info()["sysname"]
if (opSys == "Windows"){
linux <- FALSE
} else {
linux <- TRUE
}

Hi,
see ?R.version
Something like
if(version$os == "mingw32") {
path = "/ABC"} else {
path = "/DEF"
}
might do it, but I'm not sure exactly what possible values version$os
can take or what determines the value exactly.
Best,

Hi All,
I have two Rs, one has been installed in Windows system and
another one has been installed under UNIX system. Is there any environmental
variable or function to tell me which R I am using? The reason that I need to
know it is under different system, the data path could be different. I want to
do something like
if it is R under Windows
path = "/ABC"
else if it is R under UNIX,
path = "/DEF"
Any idea? Thanks.
Best Regards,
HXD
