Question about compatibility
If you are anything like me, then the main thing that you could do to win the game is to type the name of the file correctly. Given that is a near impossibility for me, when I'm on Windows I use 'file.choose' to get the correct name. Your command would look like: example=read.table(file=file.choose(), header=TRUE,sep=",") The other likely problem is that you and R are not agreeing on what the working directory is. You can see what R thinks it is by typing: getwd() You can change what it thinks it is with the 'setwd' function (or via the menu -- the file menu in Rgui or session menu in RStudio). Welcome to the R world. Pat
