Can anybody help me with simple question, please? I have tried to input some data to R and I use the read.table function. The exactly form that I type was:
test1 <- read.table("D:\Rstat\Work\Abt.data",header=T,sep=",")
I've got the response from R: Error: "scan" can't open file
R is having trouble with the file name. I think you may need to
escape the backslashes in R strings. That is, you would write two
backslashes in the file name wherever you have one now. It would look
like
read.table("D:\\Rstat\\Work\\Abt.data",header=T,sep=",")
That's right. Same as in e.g. Paradox, and other programs with C-style
string syntax. Rotating the backslashes 90 degrees ("D:/Rstat/...")
into UNIX style names also works.
