Hmm I will try something like that
if (file.exists('threshold')==FALSE)
dir.create(paste('./',abs(threshold)))
save(var,file=paste('./',abs(threshold),'/',DataSource[[4]],sep="")
I just need a bit of confirmation If I am doing soemthing terribly wrong that
might harm my filesystem.
I also did accidentaly
var<- -13
dir.create(paste('./',var))
which created a folder called -13 which I do not know how to remove it
rmdir -13
rmdir: invalid option -- '1'
Try `rmdir --help' for more information.

Hi Alex,
Look at some of these functions:
apropos("dir")
apropos("exists")
Cheers,
