I would guess the problem is that the file is not where you think it is
or that you spelled the file name and/or path incorrectly.
An easy thing to try is:
read.table(file=file.choose(), header=TRUE, sep="\t")
The function file.choose() will open a window where you'll have to
choose the file from directories. This way, you're sure to select a file
that exists and to input the correct path.
HTH,
Ivan

Hi everyone, this is my first time using r and I think I'm overlooking
something small and I just need some help seeing it. I have a file in
notepad that I need to read into r.
ceosalary<-read.table(file="C:/Users/mz106_010/Desktop/ceosalary.csv",header
= TRUE,sep="\t")
Error in file(file, "rt") : cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning message:
In file(file, "rt") :
cannot open file 'C:/Users/mz106_010/Desktop/ceosalary.csv': No such file
or directory
ceosalary<-read.table(file="C:/Users/mz106_010/Desktop/ceosalary.txt",header
= TRUE,sep="\t")
Error in file(file, "rt") : cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning message:
In file(file, "rt") :
cannot open file 'C:/Users/mz106_010/Desktop/ceosalary.txt': No such file
or directory
am I writing one of those incorrectly? What can I do to fix the problem? Any
help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time everyone!
