I am not a programmer and am self-taught so I may lack the
language to ask this appropriately (perhaps why an rseek search was unfruitful).

 

Let's say I saved a file to my desktop called foo.pdf.  Then I want R to return the file path of
foo.pdf (pretend I don't know the location(path) of foo.pdf).

 

Question: How would I get R to return the unknown file path for
foo.pdf.

 

I hypothesize that the find find.package() function code contains
the secret for doing this but am unable to parse out the snippet to do so.

 

I attempted file.path("foo.pdf")

which R returns [1] "foo.pdf"  #not what I want
