Another useful thing to do in Windows is to use file.choose() whenever you want to open a file: DATOS1 <- matrix(scan(file.choose()), ncol = 8) > The unit E: is an external hard disk. > It seems like the path were wrong. > I´ve read the FAQ´s, the Windows FAQ´s, the R document about scan() function > and the related sections of An Introduction to R and the Import/Export > manual, but I can´t find any answer of this error. > Can anybody help me, please? > Thank you > Hope this helps, Ray Brownrigg ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
