Need to understand how to troubleshoot below error

Hi Jeff,
im a new learner to R an I am trying to execute the below and my files
get created except for the last function write.csv(housedata, file
="housedatacomplete.csv")write where my new file housedatacomplete.csv
does not get created and no write command works for me. Also I am
unable to save any files.



setwd("C:\\Users\\Vidyut\\Desktop\\I2R")



getwd()



housesalesdata<-read.csv("housesalesdata.csv")



housefeaturesdata<-read.csv("housefeaturesdata.csv")



housedata<-merge(housesalesdata,housefeaturesdata,by="ID")



write.csv(housedata, file ="housedatacomplete.csv")



Thanks?

Meena?

When you specify a filename such as 'housedatacomplete.csv' which has
no directory path information, the file is assumed to be in the
"current directory" which you can identify using the status notation at
the top of the RStudio console window or using the R getwd() function.
Note that we may guess something about what may be wrong if you provide
that information in your request here, but it is more likely that you
will need to use the operating system to investigate permissions which
are really off-topic here. Your best bet will be to find a local
computer tech or sysadmin to help you solve your mystery, since there
can be many special configurations we on the mailing list won't know
about.

One note: since you are using RStudio, be sure to create a Project
directory/file and do your work with a project open. That way most
problems with permissions and working in the wrong directory should
usually be avoided. If you cannot create a project then you definitely
need local help.

Can you show the code that was being executed at the time.? Have you
verified that the path to the file is correct for the directory that
you
are using?? Have you validated that you have the correct permissions

in

the
directory to create the file?? Show the complete path length that you
were
using and then follow that path to make sure that there is a directory
there that you can write into.
