You cannot use setwd() without an argument: > setwd() Error in setwd() : argument "dir" is missing, with no default
If you want to choose a directory use choose.dir(). But if you are using RStudio, you can use the Files tab in the window on the lower right. Navigate to the folder/directory you want and then click the More tab and select "Set As Working Directory." ------------------------------------ David L Carlson Department of Anthropology Texas A&M University College Station, TX 77840-4352 -----Original Message----- From: R-help [mailto:r-help-boun...@r-project.org] On Behalf Of PIKAL Petr Sent: Monday, June 20, 2016 7:59 AM To: Shivi Bhatia; r-help@r-project.org Subject: Re: [R] Error in setwd() : argument "dir" is missing, with no default Hi maybe it is feature of RStudio so you shall probably ask there. I use to start each project in a separate folder and I always start R by doubleclick on .RData icon. So for each project I have different .RData. Beware that Windows keeps you safe and usually hides files with dot at the beginning so you need to allow such files to be displayed.
