Re: [R] Issues with loading csv file
Hi Pat, Thanks for the suggestion. It worked for me. Actually I had not saved the file in the WD accidentally and with the help of get files syntax I got to know what was the issue. Thanks a ton.

[R] Issues with loading csv file
HI All, I am trying to load an CSV file into the R project. the code for the same is: mydata- read.csv(Jan-May Data.csv, header=TRUE) however with this I am getting the below error message: /*Error in file(file, rt) : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning message: In file(file, rt) : cannot open file 'Jan-May Data.csv': No such file or directory*/ I am under the impression that R automatically pulls the data from the working directory and we do not have to add the location where the file is saved. Please let me know if my understanding is correct and help on the error as well. Please note the csv file is already saved in the WD.

Thank you, Shivi The error message suggests that R is not finding the file. Are you sure it is in R's working directory? Try explicitly setting the working directory to the directory (folder) where your CSV file is. There is a menu option for this. Kevin -- Kevin E.

Re: [R] Issues with loading csv file
I suggest two commands to diagnose the problem: getwd() # show the working directory of R This is navigation tool #17. http://www.burns-stat.com/r-navigation-tools/ list.files() # show the files in the working directory You can copy and paste file names to avoid typing mistakes. (Not that I've ever made any.)

Re: [R] Issues with loading csv file
You could try list.files() which will tell you which files R thinks are in your working directory.

Re: [R] Issues with loading csv file
Something you could try is to put a small csv file into a location and set the word to that and see whether it's finding it eg setwd(C:/Users/Shivi/Documents/) open this file, stick a csv doc and see whether R will read it Nick On 25 May 2015 at 13:19, Shivi82 shivibha...@ymail.com wrote: HI All, I am trying to load an CSV file into the R project. the code for the same is: mydata- read.csv(Jan-May Data.csv, header=TRUE) however with this I am getting the below error message: /*Error in file(file, rt) : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning message: In file(file, rt) : cannot open file 'Jan-May Data.csv': No such file or directory*/ I am under the impression that R automatically pulls the data from the working directory and we do not have to add the location where the file is saved.
