R: Makes a relative file path absolute

absolutize {StabPerf}

R Documentation

Makes a relative file path absolute

Description

Creates an absolute path from a relative one, given a base directory. If path is already absolute, it is simply returned as-is.

Usage

absolutize(path,base=getOption("edaglobal.root"))

Arguments

`path`	character. Relative path to be made absolute.
`base`	character. Base path to which `path` will be made absolute.

Details

Tries to make a file system path absolute (i.e. rooted), if it is not already. This is not fool-proof, however. Absolute paths are determined to be those paths beginning with a /, which may not be the case on all platforms.

Value

path character. Absolute version of path

Examples

abs.path <- absolutize("log/file.txt", "/base/dir")
