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.
