A small set of functions wrapping up the call stack and command line inspection needed to determine a running script's filename from within the script itself.
current_filename() current_source_filename() current_cli_filename()current_filename() current_source_filename() current_cli_filename()
current_filename() returns the result of current_source_filename() if
not NULL, otherwise the result of current_cli_filename(), which might be
NULL. You should use this wrapper function rather than the more-specific
functions unless you have a very specific need.
current_source_filename() returns the filename from the most recent call
to source in the current call stack. From within a
sourced script, this is the filename of the script itself.
current_cli_filename() returns the filename found on the command line
invocation of R or Rscript. This may or may not be the caller's file if
there's been an intervening source.
A character vector of length 1 if a script name can be found, otherwise NULL. No manipulation is done to the filename, so it may be relative or absolute.
# Put this in example.R and try running source("example.R") # and `Rscript example.R` filename <- current_filename() print(filename)# Put this in example.R and try running source("example.R") # and `Rscript example.R` filename <- current_filename() print(filename)
