You say you are using the Linux environment. Hence you files are not being 
found. You are using the path system of a Windows environment.

If your "bac" directory is in your home directory, try the following:

Test2 <- scan("~/bac/TestData2")

        Subject:        [R] Error in file(file, "r")


Hello,

I am a new user of R, and I am not able to read/scan external files.  I am
working in a Linux environment.  I have read through the R FAQ and 
documents
and have not been successful using the recommendations.  Below are several
scripts I've used and the error messages. .

I've cc'd Brandon Whitcher because it was recommended in another FAQ.   I
read that this is a bug that occurs on Windows.   Is there is a patch/fix
that I can use?  I'd appreciate any help with this problem.

Thnx,
Barbara Chisolm

Test2 <- scan("C:\\bac\\TestData2")

> setwd("J:/bac/R/")
Error in setwd(dir) : cannot change working directory
