Hi
I am just starting out in R and im trying to upload some data into it. I
have saved a small file from excel as a .txt file in the working directory i
am using in a folder of the same name as the .txt file. When i write the
function to open it I keep getting this message
snow<-read.table("working directory")
Error in file(file, "rt") : cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning message:
In file(file, "rt") :
cannot open file 'working directory': Permission denied
I cant seem to get any help on the internet to what I am doing wrong and
what does this mean?
If you are really using the working directory in your read.table call,
that's wrong. Use the file path.
The easiest way to specify a file in Windows is file.choose().
