I sent this earlier, but from a different email and it bounced on the list:
You might try placing a directory (e.g. foo) of a few small dummy text
files in inst/ and then in the example use:
system.file("foo")
as the input to your example.
That's the right idea, though I would list the package name explicitly
in the system.file() call, e.g.
datafolder <- system.file("foo", package = "bar")
That being said, system.file() often confuses users, so some authors
have taken to wrapping that in a separate function like foo_example().
I'd say it's better to show users how to find the folder, rather than
hiding that where they can't see it. Examples should be for learning,
not just to produce magic output.

Hi,
I am creating a function ftsc(x)
where x is given by:
x<-cname <- file.path("C:/Users/anand/Desktop/Internship", "dataftc")
In the dataftc folder I have stored all the text files to be clustered by
my function.
So, while creating the package I have to include an example and that is my
problem.
I am not able to define a path for data folder in @example.
So, please let me know if you have some ideas about it.
Thanks & regards,
Ujjwal

Hello Sir/Ma'am,
I am trying to build a package on R. But my function, which takes a
folder
full of text files as an argument.
So, could you please share some ideas on how to import a folder (which
contains multiple text files) for "@example".
Not sure what you mean by "import". What are you starting with? What do
you want to end up with?
