Can someone please help? The read.table command is not working for me I
think because Windows has my account name stored as "Christa Rose" with a

I don't think that is the problem. The error message
Here is an example of the syntax I've used:
RanMinePlay<-read.table("c:\\Users\\Christa
Rose\\Desktop\\Ran_mine_play_data.txt",header=T)
And returned error messages:
in read.table("c:\\Users\\Christa Rose\\Desktop\\Ran_mine_play_data.txt",
:
empty beginning of file
indicates that it found the file, but is confused by the content of it.
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In read.table("c:\\Users\\Christa
Rose\\Desktop\\Ran_mine_play_data.txt", :
line 1 appears to contain embedded nulls
This warning suggests that the file is not really a plain text file, but
is some binary format, e.g. a file produced by Word or similar.
2: In read.table("c:\\Users\\Christa
Rose\\Desktop\\Ran_mine_play_data.txt", :
incomplete final line found by readTableHeader on 'c:\Users\Christa
Rose\Desktop\Ran_mine_play_data.txt
Can someone help me resolve this??
How did you produce the file Ran_mine_play_data.txt? If you saved it
from Word, you need to tell it to save in plain Ascii format. I don't
have a copy of Word to look at, so I can't tell you how that is
described, but it is probably something like "Text (.txt)".
