I'm not seeing my error even after reading ?source and a couple of web fora threads. Running R-3.5.1 on Slackware-14.2.
The scripts/ directory has the file 'input-summarize.R' with these lines: sites <- read.table('../data/stations.dat', header=T, sep=',', stringsAsFactors=T) sink('../analyses/location-summaries.txt') print(summary(sites) sink(NULL) hg_conc <- read.table('../data/concentrations.dat', header=T, sep=',', stringsAsFactors=T) hg_conc$sampdate <- as.Date(as.character(hg_conc$sampdate)) sink('../analyses/concentration-summaries.txt') print(summary(hg_conc) sink(NULL) Sourcing the script within the same directory (confirmed using getwd()) fails with this error message:
source('input-summarize.R')
Error in file(filename, "r", encoding = encoding) : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning message: In file(filename, "r", encoding = encoding) : cannot open file 'input-summarize.R': No such file or directory I've used this same syntax to source scripts within the past month and would like to understand this error so I can fix it now and avoid it in the future.
