I am using R's list.files() function to get the list of all files in a folder. However currently, the complete path of that folder is quite lengthly, and R shortens this using ~ notation.

Is there any way to get the full path without use of ~?

I am using R in Windows machine.

Any pointer will be highly appreciated.

CodePudding user response：

Try path.expand(list.files(path_to_directory, full.names = TRUE)).

CodePudding user response：

normalizePath() will prevent the shortening of the path.

For example normalizePath(list.files(full.names = TRUE))
