If I may make a suggestion, it helps if you use informative subject lines in your email to a high-traffic list like this.

Thanks in advance for your help, I always find it tedious to remember how to write file names in Windows (there are rules about '\' and '/' characters) so I use the file.choose() function, which brings up a chooser panel. Although you haven't said what you want to do with the file, let's assume you are going to source some R code in the file. Then you could use source(file.choose()) ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
