[R] print and read.table commands

2008-06-02 Thread Paul Adams
  Hello to everyone,
I am new to programming in R and am having trouble with the following 
two commands
1.I am running a simple 1 line script read.table(file=C:\\Document and 
Settings\\All Users\\Desktop\\colon cancer.txt) and the error message I get is 
Error in file (file, r): cannot
open the connection In addition warning message In file (file, r): cannot 
open file'C:\Document and 
Settings\All Users\Desktop\colon cancer..txt
 
2.I am running the simple 1 line script print (file=C:\\Document and 
Settings\\All Users\\Desktop\\colon cancer.txt) and the error message I get is 
error in print.default (file=C:\\
Document and Settings\\All Users\\Desktop\\colon cancer.txt): argument x is 
missing,with no default
I am not sure what I am supposed to enter as argument x.
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated
paul

Try this:

path - file.choose()

1)
read.table(path)

2)
file.show(path)
