Importing a CSV file

Hi,
load() is for R's binary data files. You need to use read.csv(), as
you tried, but probably with the complete path.
A <- read.csv("C:\\Users\\Anthi\\Desktop\\R\\A.csv", header=TRUE)

Hi,
Should'nt it be A <- read.csv("C:\\\\Users\\Anthi\\Desktop\\R\\A.csv",
header=TRUE)
(c:\\ becomes c:\ In general I think it is better to use / and //)

No idea; I was copying the original poster's version. In this case, it would definitely be better to take advice on path construction from someone who uses Windows! Sarah

I use Windows and the answer is no, the four backslashes don't make sense, because like Frans said, c:\\ becomes c:\ (There is no such thing as c:\\\\ ---> c:\\). Rui Barradas

Ahoy Mateys, Not to mention, creating file paths on Windows is an Arrrr FAQ: http://cran.r-project.org/bin/windows/base/rw-FAQ.html#R-can_0027t-find-my-file Savvy? Marc Schwartz P.S. It's International Talk Like a Pirate Day, which of course fits with a certain language we all hold dear. Somebody had to do it... ;-)
