Hi, my name is Riccardo, I'm a PhD student in Soil Science in University
of Florence (Italy), and I'm beginning to use R.
I work both in a remote server and my own Mac, and so I use
/file.path()/ function according to where I must work:
/mainDir <-
file.path(
#"/Volumes/comune/RICERCA/Odori/ConfrontoDHS-SPME/AnalisiR") #remote
server 1
#"/Volumes/pesticidi/Ricerca/Odori/ConfrontoDHS-SPME/AnalisiR") #remote
server 2
"/Users/riccardoromoli/Documents/Universit?/Tesi
PhD/ConfrontoDHS-SPME/AnalisiR") my own Mac
dataDir <-
file.path(mainDir, "Dati")
workDir <-
file.path(mainDir, "report")/
When I use the /read.table/ function I have this error:
/df.AREE <- read.table(file.path(dataDir, "ORIGINALI", "SPME_H2O",
"AREE.txt"),
sep = "\t",
as.is = TRUE, dec=".",
header= TRUE, fill=TRUE)[,-c(2, 5:15, 17:28,
30:31)]
/
*Error in file(file, "rt") : cannot open this connection
In file(file, "rt") :
cannot open file '/Users/riccardoromoli/Documents/Universit?/Tesi
PhD/ConfrontoDHS-SPME/AnalisiR/Dati/ORIGINALI/SPME_H2O/AREE.txt': No
such file or directory*
Do you have any suggestion?
Well, apparently that directory doesn't exist - that's what R tells you. a) make sure you're running in the right locale (should be UTF-8 to support non-ASCII characters) b) make sure the path actually exists (use drag & drop to avoid typing mistakes) Cheers, Simon
