It is often convenient to quickly set the working directory to a path
copied onto the windows clipboard. A simple trick I have been using for
a while is along the lines given in the previous posts.
setwd.clip<-function()
{
options(warn=-1)
setwd(gsub("\\\\","/",readLines("clipboard")))
options(warn=0)
getwd()
}
I load this at the start of every session and then write setwd.clip()
whenever I have a path I want to change to on the clipboard. You can of
course write
setwd(gsub("\\\\","/",readLines("clipboard")))
everytime you need it. Obviously it takes longer and there is the minor
detail that the path read from the clipboard is incomplete (no EOL
marker) which leads to an unnecessary warning.
