Working with knitr using subdirectories

Question

I have a project folder, which is my working directory. Let\'s call it project. Under the project folder are 4 subdirectories: code,

Answer 1

Try this. It assumes you have the 4 folders you listed inside the working directory project. It also assumes you have a .csv file called myData.csv in data.

When you knit the file, the plot will be saved in figures. At the end, the code looks for html files in code and moves them to documents. There's probably a better way to do this.

```{r setup}
  library(knitr)
  opts_knit$set(root.dir=normalizePath('../'))
  opts_chunk$set(fig.path = "../figures/", dev='pdf') # corrected path and added dev
```

```{r import}
  dat <- read.csv("data/myData.csv")
```

```{r plot}
  # pdf(file="figures/test.pdf")  # I do this in setup instead
  plot(dat)
  # dev.off()
```

```{r move}
  files <- list.files("code/")
  index <- grep("html", files)
  file.rename(file.path("code", files[index]),
              file.path("documents", files[index]))
```
