Dear R community, I have been getting this warning message after running a function sourced from an R script, and can't seem to work out why R is looking for a folder that wasn't even specified (it attaches a \NA to the specified directory, where assess_rev has not asked to do so at all. R code has been tested by another user and that works fine). I have tried saving the files in a new folder and onto a different drive, but that doesn't seem to fix the problem.. I have also checked to make sure that I've the appropriate access options. Has anyone encountered this problem where R starts looking for this non-existent \NA folder?
source("S:\\research\\boxcox\\Series_to_experiment_with\\Revisions_analysis\\assess_rev3.R")
assess_rev(data.dir="S:\\research\\boxcox\\Series_to_experiment_with\\Revisions_analysis\\NEPAL_JUL81_B1\\lam0\\",rev.lag=13,series="NEPAL_JUL81_B1",comp="adj")
Error in file(file, "r") : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning message: In file(file, "r") : cannot open file 'S:\research\boxcox\Series_to_experiment_with\Revisions_analysis\NEPAL_JUL81_B1\lam0\NA': No such file or directory
Hi Leanne, I thought it was the line break in the directory string, but the line wasn't broken when I started to answer. My next guess is that you don't need the trailing "\\" on the directory string. Jim
