Hello, Make sure you have your file in your workspace directory (you can get it on your R console with the command getwd()).

I have just uninstalled the R 2.4.1 that i was using and installed the latest version (R 2.12.1). In order to read a text file, i was copying the text file to C/Program Files/R/R 2.4.1, and the previous version was able to read it from there. I did the same think for the new version (copy text file to C/Program Files/R/R 2.12.1) and i tried to open it: data <- read.table('intersand.txt') but the result was: Error in file(file, "rt") : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning message: In file(file, "rt") : cannot open file 'intersand.txt': No such file or directory Can someone tell me what the problem is? Must i copy the text file somewhere else?
