The only solution I've encountered is to use regular expressions and recursively replace the first directory until you get a word with no slashes.
gsub("/\\w*/","/",gsub("/\\w*/","/",getwd()))
Is there anything slightly more elegant? (and more portable?)
Your example code doesn't work for me, but you're probably looking for either basename
or dirname
:
> getwd()
[1] "C:/cvswork/data"
> basename(getwd())
[1] "data"
> dirname(getwd())
[1] "C:/cvswork"
