How to write a file into a specific folder using Here package?-CodePudding

I am trying to use Here to easy file referencing and it is working okay if I write pdf or csv files without any sys date. For example; pdf(here("output/first.pdf)) works but not if I add any of the formatting text. Appreciate if you can help me how to make below code work with Here. Thanks!

pdf(file=paste0(projPath,format(Sys.Date(),"%Y%b%d"),".pdf"),
    height = 6, width = 16)
write.csv(df,file=paste(projPath,"/output/first_",format(Sys.Date(),"%Y%b%d"),".csv",sep=""), quote=F, row.names = F, na=".")

I recommend that you use the glue library, it makes injecting additions into strings a breeze. See this example

library(here)
library(glue)

(mydate <- format(Sys.Date(),"%Y%b%d"))
here(glue("something_{mydate}.pdf"))
