Hi,

Thanks, but I'm not sure I know what you mean by "insert a ENTER after the last value". Do you mean press enter after I write in the last value?

    Hi,

    I've completely forgotten how to do R, and it seems I can't even
    load simple files correctly.

    I have two tab deliminated text files (attached, these were test
    files of the larger data files I'm trying to work with) that I am
    trying to load into R so that I can merge them. They were
    originally excel files but I used "saved as" to reformat to text.
    I don't know if it's relevant, but I use a mac.

    These are the error messages I get:
    > source("/Users/jiayingmei/Desktop/R/Testdate.txt")
    Error in eval.with.vis(expr, envir, enclos) : object "Date" not found

    Error in source("/Users/jiayingmei/Desktop/R/Testinput.txt") :
     /Users/jiayingmei/Desktop/R/Testinput.txt: unexpected symbol at
    1: Date    France

    I'm sure its something simple that is causing this, but I've been
    away from R very long, and I've been trying to pick it up today,
    sorry if this is a stupid post. I even tried to shift through some
    of the guides and manuals out there, but I can't seem to find help
    regarding loading a file (or placing them in some directory so
    that R can find them). I know I've been taught this most simplest
    of things, but obviously I've forgotten just about everything.
