Question

In R, with file.path, you can convert a character vector into a full file path, automatically using the correct file separator for your platform :

Answer 1

you can use the package DescTools to solve the problem:

library(DescTools)

SplitPath('C:/users/losses/development/R/loveResearch/src/signalPreprocess.R')

The output is:

$normpath
[1] "C:\\users\\losses\\development\\R\\loveResearch\\src\\signalPreprocess.R"

$drive
[1] "C:"

$dirname
[1] "/users/losses/development/R/loveResearch/src/"

$fullfilename
[1] "signalPreprocess.R"

$filename
[1] "signalPreprocess"

$extension
[1] "R"

Pretty convenient.
