Iyue,
One alternative is to define a directory (myDir), then import data
(myFile) from there. The below is an example of importing a Excel data
set call "myData" in the "C:\\My Documents\\" directory.
############################
myDir_"C:\\My Documents\\"
myFile_"myData"
myTarget_paste(myDir,myFile,".xls",sep="")
guiImportData(FileName = myTarget,
FileTypes = "Excel Worksheet (xl?)", TargetDataFrame = myFile)
##################################################################
Have fun.

[S] setwd() analogue
Hi all,
I'm trying to specify the working directory from which to read in (and
write to) miscellaneous data.
The documents and archives seem to suggest something like
> data.wd<-"C:\\Projects\\Data1"
> attach(pos=1, new.database(data.wd))
But then, I try to read in a simple file with:
> base<-read.table("myData.csv", sep=",", header=T)
without success.
Could someone provide a tip please?
Basically, I would like to use syntax that is analogous to "setwd()" in
[R].
Thanks,
Iyue
