Gary, First off, I doubt anyone here will really be able to help you with a question which is, basically, "How do I submit the R code that I've worked on to my college as an answer to a programming assignment". Unless by chance someone else here happens to be taking that course and knows how to. It's not really an R programming question.
What I can help you with is an apparent misunderstand by you of what source() does. source() is simply a way to say: read the lines in the named "file" (not always a disk file) and act as if I had typed it all in myself on the R command prompt. Well, I may be chided a bit by others. But I'm bored this morning. And I don't feel that this is actually a "homework problem". So I looked at the R code at http://d396qusza40orc.cloudfront.net/rprog/scripts/submitscript1.R and at your transcript. Try the following commands: source("http://d396qusza40orc.cloudfront.net/rprog/scripts/submitscript1.R") setwd('H:/RStudio-Projects/Project1/') submit() Note that I replaced the second source() with a setwd() command. The first source() defines some R programs for you. The setwd() makes your "current working directory" be H:/RStudio-Projects/Project1/ which I guess is where pollutantmean.R resides. The submit() function looks for a __FILE__ in the __current working directory__ for the code which you want to submit to your instructor. From what I can see, the submit() process itself does the required source() to run your R code, but only from your __current working directory__ (yes, I'm emphasizing that). The rest of what you did after the submit() command looks to match what the submit() function was wanting. Now, I will emphasize yet again that this question is totally outside the purview of this forum. Your question should have been asked of your teacher, or a TA, or (as we were called back when I was in college) a "user's ass" (we weren't P.C,. or even polite, back in the 60s. I had to help people with key punch machines and card readers). I only went into this because: (1) I'm bored and (2) you look like you might be just a bit younger that me and I believe in helping kids succeed <grin>.
