Hi, I have no experience with R and I'm finding the manuals a bit obtuse

I'm trying to import a csv file from a floppy and it's not working. The
code I'm using is
read.table("F:\GEORGIA\species_richness\SR_use.csv", sep=",", header =
TRUE, row.names = 1)
I'm assuming that this command is case sensitive so everything matches.
Is there something I'm missing?
In R (as in C) the backslash is an escape character. To have a
backslash appear in your pathname, you need to double it.
Alternatively, just use a forward slash:
read.table("F:/GEORGIA/species_richness/SR_use.csv", sep=",", header =
TRUE, row.names = 1)
