Thanks for your advice.


> getwd()
[1] "/home/userA"


> list.files(getwd())
 [1] "Desktop"           "Documents"         "Downloads"        
 [4] "examples.desktop"  "last-packages.txt" "Music"            
 [7] "myR"               "petdrug.csv"       "Pictures"         
[10] "Public"            "R"                 "Templates"        
[13] "Videos"           


> list.files(getwd(),full.name=TRUE)
 [1] "/home/userA/Desktop"          
 [2] "/home/userA/Documents"        
 [3] "/home/userA/Downloads"        
 [4] "/home/userA/examples.desktop" 
 [5] "/home/userA/last-packages.txt"
 [6] "/home/userA/Music"            
 [7] "/home/userA/myR"              
 [8] "/home/userA/petdrug.csv"      
 [9] "/home/userA/Pictures"         
[10] "/home/userA/Public"
