I am choosing a file like this: #Bring up file selection box fn<-file.choose() fp<-file.path(fn,fsep='\\')
Unfortunately, the file path contains the short file name and extension as well. I had hoped to get only the path so I could make my own long filenames (for output graphs) by concatenation with this file path. Of course I can split the string and assemble the components from the returned list: fp<-strsplit(fp,'\\',fixed=TRUE) But there must be a better way?
