Try adding a missing singe quote (') at the end of your working directory.

setwd('d:/folder_name')

Subject: [R] set working directory


I have just upgraded from rw1081 to rw1090 (using Windows 2000).

Now when I type the command:

> setwd('d:/folder_name)

I get the following error message:

Error in setwd(dir) : cannot change working directory

If I use the "change dir" tab in the file menu i can sucessfully change
working directories, but this is not so convenient as i have my whole model
stored as a text file that I prefer to copy into R.
