If you are anything like me, then the main thing that you could do to win the game is to type the name of the file correctly.
Given that is a near impossibility for me, when I'm on Windows I use 'file.choose' to get the correct name. Your command would look like: example=read.table(file=file.choose(), header=TRUE,sep=",") The other likely problem is that you and R are not agreeing on what the working directory is. You can see what R thinks it is by typing: getwd() You can change what it thinks it is with the 'setwd' function (or via the menu -- the file menu in Rgui or session menu in RStudio). Welcome to the R world. Pat On 23/11/2013 16:49, Juan Manuel Reyes S wrote:
