Hello,
I am unable to write a pathway to .csv files saved on my computer. I
can get this to work on a windows machine, but the mac returns a
message saying the file does not exist. Any tips on how to import
data on mac's? For example, the below line was unsuccesful.
read.csv(file="Macintosh HD:Users:ThorJ:Desktop:heightweight.csv"
One really slick way to get properly constructed paths is to drag the
file to the console. An example of the results of doing so on my system:
/Users/davidwinsemius/Desktop/Lecture.schedule.txt
As you can see, you don't need the volume name for the default volume
and you would probably be better off using "/"'s.
Here is an example of a path to a mounted CD:
/Volumes/VFF0664/SILKYPIX/SILKYPIX Developer Studio 3.1 SE Installer.pkg
