Hello,
I am a complete beginner to R. I use a mac and want to import and read a
.csv dataset stored as .csv file.
I understand I eventually enter <- read.csv("size.csv", header=T) , but I
can't get R to find my file, which is called size.csv and located
/Users/davidoconnor/Desktop/Eart-125/size.csv
Thank you very much!
David

Two solutions:
To find the file, use file.choose()
e.g.,
my.file.name <- file.choose() #and then use the normal mac tools
to find the file
my.data <- read.csv(my.file.name,header=TRUE)
or, if you want to just read it from the clipboard:
library(psych)
my.data <- read.clipboard.csv() #after copying the data to the clipboard
