[R] display basename

[Bert Gunter]

z=read.table(chosen <- file.choose(),dec=".",header=TRUE) 

will assign the return value of file.choose (the path names of the file as a
character string) to chosen.

This sort of code is seductive, but I find it quite difficult to read. I
have also gotten myself into trouble from time to time doing it sloppily.

Hello everybody,

I'm sorry for asking a dumb question, but I don't find how to loos it.

I need to display the name of the choosing file using this command :

z=read.table(file.choose(),dec=".",header=TRUE)

Thanks for any help.
