This seems like a very basic question so I have searched the FAQ site, several
manuals, and the R-Seek site as well as Googling for an answer but can't seem
to come up with one. I am trying to import an Excel file that resides on a
University network. The path name of the file is to a network drive and
includes blank spaces (e.g. K:/science/next directory science2/mydata/). The
setwd() works and I am able to actually see the files in the directory on the
network but for some reason the RODBC, GDATA and XlsReadWrite functions do not
seem to be able to find the files. Does anyone know if these functions able to
read path names with blank spaces? The available documentation doesn't seem to
indicate one way or another. Note that I can't change the path name because
they are setup by University network administrators. Obviously it may be some
sort of syntax error with my coding of the functions (I'm in the process of
learning R) but I am not going to ask for help with that a!
nd I would like to eliminate the possibility that it is simply the path names.
I have not tried conversion to .csv and then importing which I would prefer not
to do. Thanks in advance for any help.
