G’day,

I am trying to read in a table and am getting an error message stating that R 
is unable to open a connection to the file.  

➢ Avonvegen<- read.table("Y:\Study 
Sites\Avon\nonspatial\datafiles\archive\Avon_VegEnh.dat ", sep=",", 
na.string="-9999", header=TRUE)
Error in file(file, "r") : unable to open connection
In addition: Warning message:
cannot open file 'Y:Study SitesAvon
onspatialdatafilesrchiveAvon_VegEnh.dat ', reason 'Invalid argument'
>

I have checked that the AvonVegEnh.dat is spelt correctly and has no hidden 
extensions.
I have checked that the folder is accessible.
I have moved the datafile and changed the script to try reading from the local 
drive with no success.

I have used the same syntax on a similar file (same field structure but 
different data) with no problems before and now it doesn't read either.  

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks, 
david
