Determine path of the executing script

Question

I have a script called foo.R that includes another script other.R, which is in the same directory:

#!/usr/bin/env Rscript
message(\         


        

Answer 1

Note that the getopt package provides the get_Rscript_filename function, which just uses the same solution presented here, but is already written for you in a standard R module, so you don't have to copy and paste the "get script path" function into every script you write.
