Having trouble setting working directory

Question

I created a folder in order for it to be the main work directory meaning all the files I create go there  and files I read will be from there  For some reason after I created the folder and I m trying to set it as the working directory I get this message   Error in setwd         cannot change working directory     When I try to create files they are saved somewhere different and I get an error when trying to load them  I used the scan function and got   Error in file file   r     cannot open the connection   In addition  Warning message   In file file   r     cannot open file  ff   No such file or directory

Maybe it is the case that you have your path in couple of lines  you used enter to make it  If so  then part of you paths might look like that    nData   instead of   Data    which causes the problem  Just set it to be in one line and issue is solved

I just had this error message happen  When searching for why  I figured out that there s a related issue that can occur if you re not paying attention - the same error occurs if the directory you are trying to move into does not exist

The command setwd       should set your working directory to your home directory  You might be experiencing problems because the OS you are using does not recognise      as your home directory  this might be because of the OS  or it might be because of not having set that as your home directory elsewhere   As you have tagged the post using RStudio    In the bottom right window move the tab over to  files    Navigate through there to whichever folder you were planning to use as your working directory  Under  more  click  set as working directory    You will now have set the folder as your working directory  Use the command getwd   to get the working directory as it is now set  and save that as a variable string at the top of your script  Then use setwd with that string as the argument  so that each time you run the script you use the same directory   For example at the top of my script I would have   work dir  lt -  C  Users john smith Documents  setwd work dir
