Hi,
I but you left out the extension that Windows is hiding from you.
Yes indeed! Why Windows hides extensions has never made any sense to me. To turn off this seriously broken behaviour, open a folder, then in the Tools|Folder Options dialog, find "Hide extensions for known file types" and make sure it is not checked. In Win XP it's under the View tab, around 10 lines down; I think it's in other places in other versions.
In particular, the path for sure does not realy start with "/Desktop"...
You might want to try
dir(file.path(Sys.getenv("USERPROFILE"), "Desktop/work"))
and correct the entry to
read.table(file.path(Sys.getenv("USERPROFILE"), "Desktop/work/128_L.YourExtension"))

BTW: I wonder why nobody uses a sensible subject in this thread....

Hello, I'm new to R, and I'm having trouble importing a text file (I'm on Windows XP)
m <- read.table("/Desktop/work/128_L")
Error in file(file, "r") : unable to open connection In addition: Warning message: cannot open file `/Desktop/work/128_L'
do you know why this isn't working? All I have is a bunch of text files, each with a single column of about 30,000 rows.
thanks
