Hi Jeff,
im a new learner to R an I am trying to execute the below and my files get
created except for the last function write.csv(housedata, file
="housedatacomplete.csv")write where my new file housedatacomplete.csv does not
get created and no write command works for me. Also I am unable to save any
files.
setwd("C:\\Users\\Vidyut\\Desktop\\I2R")
getwd()
housesalesdata<-read.csv("housesalesdata.csv")
housefeaturesdata<-read.csv("housefeaturesdata.csv")
housedata<-merge(housesalesdata,housefeaturesdata,by="ID")
write.csv(housedata, file ="housedatacomplete.csv")
Thanks
Meena

When you specify a filename such as 'housedatacomplete.csv' which has no
directory path information, the file is assumed to be in the "current
directory" which you can identify using the status notation at the top of the
RStudio console window or using the R getwd() function. Note that we may guess
something about what may be wrong if you provide that information in your
request here, but it is more likely that you will need to use the operating
system to investigate permissions which are really off-topic here. Your best
bet will be to find a local computer tech or sysadmin to help you solve your
mystery, since there can be many special configurations we on the mailing list
won't know about.
One note: since you are using RStudio, be sure to create a Project
directory/file and do your work with a project open. That way most problems
with permissions and working in the wrong directory should usually be avoided.
If you cannot create a project then you definitely need local help.
