Dear R-users,
I want to construct a relative path in R, but I am not able to do it or to
find a function that does it.
My solution is somewhat awkward as it uses string manipulation.
The problem: I have the following folder structure.
project_folder
|
|----- data
|----- scripts
|----- output
My working directory is the scripts folder.
Now I want to construct a relative path to the data folder.
Is there an easy way or a function?
file.path("..", "data")
should work on any R platform (actually "../data" will on any current R
platform).
