<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Hi Abdoulaye</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Perhaps its helpful to
simplify the instruction so its easy to read in ordinary text.
The example that Jeffrey Hollister gives at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.r-bloggers.com/things-i-forget-reading-a-shapefile-in-r-with-readogr/">https://www.r-bloggers.com/things-i-forget-reading-a-shapefile-in-r-with-readogr/</a><br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">is like this</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">myShapeInR<-readOGR("C:/data","myShapeFile")
where the shapefile is called myShapeFile.shp, and its in
C:/data.</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">If its in your current
working directory (calling getwd() will tell you what your
current working directory is) then you can use simply</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">myShapeInR<-readOGR(".","myShapeFile")
as the full stop "." is a symbol for the current directory.</font></p>
<p><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Hope that helps</font></p>
