Hi Val, I am not sure what it is that you are trying to do. "read.table" Is not used to open an R script, but to open a data file. You will also need to give the extension of the file when using the command (someone please correct me if I am wrong).
If you wish to open an R script, I would just use the GUI menu and use: "file -> open script" and find your script to open. Good luck, Tal ---------------------------------------------- My contact information: Tal Galili E-mail: tal.gal...@gmail.com Phone number: 972-52-7275845 FaceBook: Tal Galili My Blogs: http://www.talgalili.com (Web and general, Hebrew) http://www.biostatistics.co.il (Statistics, Hebrew) http://www.r-statistics.com/ (Statistics,R, English) On Wed, Oct 28, 2009 at 4:04 PM, Val <valkr...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi User's, > > This might be a simple question but it is giving me a hard time as I am a > new user. > I installed R version 2.9.2 (2009-08-24) > > 1.
