我有一个名为foo的脚本。R包含另一个脚本other。R,在同一个目录下:

#!/usr/bin/env Rscript
message("Hello")
source("other.R")

但我想让R找到另一个。R,不管当前工作目录是什么。

换句话说,就是foo。R需要知道自己的路径。我该怎么做呢?

我喜欢这种方法:

this.file <- sys.frame(tail(grep('source',sys.calls()),n=1))$ofile
this.dir <- dirname(this.file)

Supressingfire回答的简化版本:

source_local <- function(fname){
    argv <- commandArgs(trailingOnly = FALSE)
    base_dir <- dirname(substring(argv[grep("--file=", argv)], 8))
    source(paste(base_dir, fname, sep="/"))
}

I would use a variant of @steamer25 's approach. The point is that I prefer to obtain the last sourced script even when my session was started through Rscript. The following snippet, when included on a file, will provided a variable thisScript containing the normalized path of the script. I confess the (ab)use of source'ing, so sometimes I invoke Rscript and the script provided in the --file argument sources another script that sources another one... Someday I will invest in making my messy code turns into a package.

thisScript <- (function() {
  lastScriptSourced <- tail(unlist(lapply(sys.frames(), function(env) env$ofile)), 1)

  if (is.null(lastScriptSourced)) {
    # No script sourced, checking invocation through Rscript
    cmdArgs <- commandArgs(trailingOnly = FALSE)
    needle <- "--file="
    match <- grep(needle, cmdArgs)
    if (length(match) > 0) {
      return(normalizePath(sub(needle, "", cmdArgs[match]), winslash=.Platform$file.sep, mustWork=TRUE))
    }
  } else {
    # 'source'd via R console
    return(normalizePath(lastScriptSourced, winslash=.Platform$file.sep, mustWork=TRUE))
  }
})()

我自己刚算出来的。为了确保脚本的可移植性,总是以以下开头:

wd <- setwd(".")
setwd(wd)

It works because "." translates like the Unix command $PWD. Assigning this string to a character object allows you to then insert that character object into setwd() and Presto your code will always run with its current directory as the working directory, no matter whose machine it is on or where in the file structure it is located. (Extra bonus: The wd object can be used with file.path() (ie. file.path(wd, "output_directory") to allow for the creation of a standard output directory regardless of the file path leading to your named directory. This does require you to make the new directory before referencing it this way but that, too, can be aided with the wd object.

或者,下面的代码执行完全相同的事情:

wd <- getwd()
setwd(wd)

或者,如果你不需要对象中的文件路径,你可以简单地:

setwd(".")

请注意,getopt包提供了get_Rscript_filename函数,该函数使用与本文相同的解决方案,但已经在标准R模块中为您编写了该解决方案,因此您不必将“获取脚本路径”函数复制并粘贴到您编写的每个脚本中。

你可以在一个bash脚本中包装r脚本,并检索脚本的路径作为bash变量,如下所示:

#!/bin/bash
     # [environment variables can be set here]
     path_to_script=$(dirname $0)

     R --slave<<EOF
        source("$path_to_script/other.R")

     EOF
