Question about compatibility

If you are anything like me, then the main
thing that you could do to win the game is
to type the name of the file correctly.

Given that is a near impossibility for me,
when I'm on Windows I use 'file.choose' to
get the correct name.  Your command would
look like:

example=read.table(file=file.choose(), header=TRUE,sep=",")

The other likely problem is that you and
R are not agreeing on what the working
directory is.  You can see what R thinks it
is by typing:

getwd()

You can change what it thinks it is with
the 'setwd' function (or via the menu --
the file menu in Rgui or session menu in
RStudio).

Welcome to the R world.

Dear R- project

I am beginning to work in R. When I was trying to read data for external
files with command read.table  in R, R was reporting me:

  example=read.table(file="example.text", header=TRUE,sep=",")

Error in file(file, "rt") : It is not posible to open connection
Adem?s: Mensajes de aviso perdidos
In file(file, "rt") :
  It is not posible to open the file  'example.text': No such file or
directory

I am using office 365 and my computer has Windows 8.

What can I do?

Thank you members of R- project
