Thanks William ! file.info("E:/ home work/Rstudio/kim.jpeg") size isdir mode mtime ctime atime exe E:/home work/Rstudio/kim.jpeg NA NA <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA>
So R thinks this file doesn't exist? But the file is already in "E:/ home work/Rstudio" folder, I don't understand why file.info( ) returned such message. I have multiple files in this directory "E:/home work/Rstudio", but R shows: file.info("E:/home work/Rstudio") size isdir mode mtime ctime atime exe E:/home work/Rstudio 0 TRUE 777 2013-01-13 22:12:58 2013-01-13 20:57:36 2013-01-13 22:12:58 no Any help ?
