Related to this, you could issue the command exactly as shown without any arguments at all: file.choose() from the R console, navigate to the correct file and it will return the correct text representation of the filename to use in your read.table. For example, below I navigated to the AUTHORS file in the rw1091 R distribution: R> file.choose() [1] "C:\\Program Files\\R\\rw1091\\AUTHORS" This should help you decipher whether you got the path wrong, the filename wrong, etc. ______________________________________________ [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
