In R (as in C) the backslash is an escape character. To have a backslash appear in your pathname, you need to double it. Alternatively, just use a forward slash: read.table("F:/GEORGIA/species_richness/SR_use.csv", sep=",", header = TRUE, row.names = 1) Duncan Murdoch ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html
