Hi! I have the data in a tab delimited text file titled "ken_data_try_anova." I tried to import it into R entering
read.delim(ken_data_try_anova)
but received the error message Error in read.table(file = file, header = header, sep = sep, quote = quote, : object 'ken_data_try_anova' not found
Try
read.delim("ken_data_try_anova")
If that doesn't work, turn off the "Hide extensions for known file
types" option in Windows Explorer and find out what the extension for
this file is.
I have another file called 10423nad.txt. I tried
data<-as.matrix(read.table(C:\Users\gtsalazar1979\Documents\TANOVA_1.0.0\10423nad.txt)) )
but got the error message Error: unexpected input in "data<-as.matrix(read.table(C:\"
The single backslash doesn't work as a path delimiter in R. Try:
data<-as.matrix(read.table("C:\\Users\\gtsalazar1979\\Documents\\TANOVA_1.0.0\\10423nad.txt"))
or
data<-as.matrix(read.table("C:/Users/gtsalazar1979/Documents/TANOVA_1.0.0/10423nad.txt"))
That is, replace the backslashes with forward slashes (and don't forget
the quotes)
How do I place the data where the import function can find it? Or, how do I correct my use of the import functions?
