[R] get absolute file path
Hello, I get a value which stores a relative file name. (I get it from another function, which I don't want to change.) e.g. fileName - ../data/2010-08.csv; Is it possible to get the absolute file path out of this value? (e.g. /home/sebastian/documents/data/2010-08.csv) Kind regards, Sebastian __ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
