I’ve several times to figure this out with no luck. I’ve moved a tab delimited text file

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?
Sorry, forget to answer your actual question:
You can use getwd() to find the working directory. If you put the file
there, you won't need to specify the path.
