First, make sure the file name is correct. Second, try
list.files("Users:/sezginozcan/Downloads/") to see if the file is listed and you are looking in the correct folder. Third, you may be able to locate and open the file using A <- read.table(file.choose(), sep="\t", row.names=1, header=T) I believe that "clipboard" works only on Windows computers. ---------------------------------------------- David L Carlson Associate Professor of Anthropology Texas A&M University College Station, TX 77843-4352 -----Original Message----- From: r-help-boun...@r-project.org [mailto:r-help-boun...@r-project.org] On Behalf Of sezgin ozcan Sent: Thursday, February 09, 2012 9:21 PM To: r-h...@stat.math.ethz.ch Subject: [R] Importing a CSV file I have been trying to import a csv file to r. but I get the same message everytime. the message is Error in file(file, "rt") : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning message: In file(file, "rt") : cannot open file 'Users:/sezginozcan/Downloads/beer.data.csv': No such file or directory I use mac.
