| path.expand {base} | R Documentation |
Expand a path name, for example by replacing a leading tilde by the user's home directory (if defined on that platform).
path.expand(path)
path |
character vector containing one or more path names. |
On some Unix builds of R, a leading ~user will expand to
the home directory of user, but not on Unix versions without
readline installed, nor if R is invoked with
--no-readline.
In an interactive session capabilities("cledit") will report if
readline is available.
path.expand("~/foo")
