[R] how to get the 'starting directory'

[PIKAL Petr]

Hi

I am not an expert in making R scripts but what you see probably means that your R session starts in users\jm\mydocuments directory which is set as your working directory.

AFAIK there are basically 2 directories - one with  location of R program
D:\programy\R-devel\bin\i386\Rgui.exe

and one from which the R program is started.

O:\Dokumenty\STAT\pracovni
(this is Windows, I do not have experience with Linux/Mac machines)

So your way of starting a script leads to starting from

users\jm\mydocuments

directory. I also recommend to consult Rlang.pdf manual for programming questions.

As Alt+Ctrl+R does nothing on my PC I searched what it can mean and I found that it is shortcut of R-studio for opening a document. Am I right? If yes it can be a feature of Rstudio.

maybe others more experienced users can give you better answer.

Anyway you can help us to help you if you provide as full info as you can afford.

Cheers
Petr
