inst and extdata folders in R Packaging

by

More useful than using file.path would be to use system.file. Once your package is installed, you can grab your file like so:

fpath <- system.file("extdata", "my_raw_data.csv", package="my_package")

fpath will now have the absolute path on your HD to the file.
