| file.path {base} | R Documentation |
Construct the path to a file from components in a platform-independent way.
file.path(..., fsep = .Platform$file.sep)
... |
character vectors. Long vectors are not supported. |
fsep |
the path separator to use (assumed to be ASCII). |
The implementation is designed to be fast (faster than
paste) as this function is used extensively in R itself.
It can also be used for environment paths such as PATH and
R_LIBS with fsep = .Platform$path.sep.
Trailing path separators are invalid for Windows file paths apart from
‘/’ and ‘d:/’ (although some functions/utilities do accept
them), so a trailing / or \ is removed there.
A character vector of the arguments concatenated term-by-term and
separated by fsep if all arguments have positive length;
otherwise, an empty character vector (unlike paste).
An element of the result will be marked (see Encoding) as
UTF-8 if run in a UTF-8 locale (when marked inputs are converted to
UTF-8) or if a component of the result is marked as UTF-8, or as
Latin-1 in a non-Latin-1 locale.
The components are by default separated by /
(not \) on Windows.
