Hi
I wish to read a file from my local directory from inside a function. I am
passing the filename as the argument but this does not work.
Say for example
function(dat)
{
dat1=read.csv("D:\\dat.csv",header=TRUE)
}
If I call funtion(dat) I get the following error. 'Intuitively' i understand
this is a mistake but how do I overcome this and how can I read a file name
passed as an argument please?
Error in file(file, "rt") : cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning message:
In file(file, "rt") :
cannot open file 'D:\dat.csv': No such file or directory
Many thanks
Raghu
