as.relative.path {this.path} | R Documentation |
When working with this.path, you will be dealing with a lot of absolute
paths. These paths are no good for saving within files, so you'll need to use
as.relative.path()
to turn your absolute paths into relative paths.
as.relative.path(path, relative.to = this.dir(verbose = FALSE))
as.rel.path (path, relative.to = this.dir(verbose = FALSE))
path |
character vector of file / / URL paths. |
relative.to |
character string; the file / / URL path to make |
Tilde-expansion (see path.expand
) is first done on
path
and relative.to
.
If path
and relative.to
are equivalent, "."
will be
returned. If path
and relative.to
have no base in common, the
normalized
path
will be returned.
character vector of the same length as path
