You can use file.info("myFile") to make sure the file exists and has
appropriate permissions ("mode"
in file.info's lingo, as in Unix). E.g.,
file.info("c:/temp/BO.jpeg") # this one does not exist
size isdir mode mtime ctime atime exe
c:/temp/BO.jpeg NA NA <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA> <NA>
file.info("c:/temp/BO.jpg") # this one exists
size isdir mode mtime ctime
atime
c:/temp/BO.jpg 150536 FALSE 666 2013-01-14 08:35:32 2013-01-14 08:33:09
2013-01-14 08:33:09
exe
c:/temp/BO.jpg no
I can readJPEG() the file with mode 666, but not all permission
information is encoded in the mode.

Subject: Re: [R] readJPEG function cannot open jpeg files
Being unable to open a file is a related to your operating system and
how R interacts with
that OS. If your interactive development environment (IDE, of which
RStudio is an
example) is trying to make things simpler for you but you don't
understand how to use it,
then you need to ask help from your RStudio support resources, not here.
When posting here, you should mention your results from using base R
functions like
?sessionInfo
?getwd
?list.files
as indicated in the Posting Guide mentioned at the bottom of every
R-help email.
Consistent with the fact that this is an interface issue between R and
the OS, sometimes
you will have to investigate the problem from outside R. For example,
you might need to
investigate issues with security permissions that are OS specific and
completely outside
the scope of this forum.

I installed jpeg package and tried to use
kim<-readJPEG("kim.jpeg") to read in a jpeg file, but R gave me an
error:
Error in readJPEG("kim.jpeg") : unable to open kim.jpeg
I already put "kim.jpeg" in Rstudio's default working directory:
"E:\home
work\Rstudio". So I don't think it's a problem caused by omitting the
file's
path. But I tried with the full path version just in case and still got
the
"unable to open" error:
kim<-readJPEG("E:\\ home work\\Rstudio\\kim.jpeg")
Error in readJPEG("E:\\ home work\\Rstudio\\kim.jpeg") :
unable to open E:\ home work\Rstudio\kim.jpeg
So now I really don't know what is wrong.
