[R] R in different OS

[Ista Zahn]

Hi,

see ?R.version

Something like
if(version$os == "mingw32") {
               path = "/ABC"} else {
               path = "/DEF"
}

might do it, but I'm not sure exactly what possible values version$os
can take or what determines the value exactly.

Best,
Ista

Is there any environmental variable or function to tell me which R I am using? The reason that I need to know it is under different system, the data path could be different. I want to do something like
