I’ve several times to figure this out with no luck. I’ve moved a tab delimited text file (created from excel) to the desktop to simplify the path. If I click on the file and ask Get Info, it lists “Where” as iCloud Drive > Desktop. If I copy that to the clipboard and paste that into a read.table command in the R console, it comes up as /Users/DFP/Desktop. But if I try read.table("\\Users\\DFP\\Desktop\\moabsitechem"), I get No such file or directory. How can I get that file into a data frame?Is there some place in my Mac that I can put the file so I could enter just the file name, and not the whole path?
It doesn't make sense to use backslashes in the path: macOS will see those as part of the name, not as path separators. Just use read.table("/Users/DFP/Desktop/moabsitechm") if that's the filename.
