The process of combining files from different directories in R involves the following steps: 1. Set the working directory to the directory where the files are located using the setwd function. 2. Read the files using functions such as read.csv, read.table, etc. and assign them to separate variables. 3. Use functions such as cbind or rbind to combine the variables (i.e., files) together horizontally or vertically, respectively. 4. Save the combined file in the desired directory using functions such as write.csv, write.table, etc.

Here's an example code:

# Set the working directory
setwd("C:/Users/MyComputer/Desktop/Data")

# Read the files
file1 <- read.csv("file1.csv")
file2 <- read.csv("file2.csv")

# Combine the files horizontally
combined_files <- cbind(file1, file2)

# Save the combined file
write.csv(combined_files, "combined_files.csv", row.names = FALSE)
