Just a hunch, but I would recommend simplifying your filename: remove the
(CSV) portion. It could be confusing in R read syntax. Create a filename with
no unnecessary punctuation and no blank spaces.

Subject: [R] Request for R Assistance: Downloading Data
Good evening,
I am attempting to download Genomic data from the GDC onto R for analysis
and am experiencing some difficulty. I have downloaded the GDC data into an
Excel, CSV, and notepad (.txt) file and implemented what I believe to be
the proper arguments, with every attempting failing to properly load the
data onto R. The following is the various attempts I made in trying to take
one of these files (a translated version of the GDC data) and load it into R
.
> load("C:\\Users\\Spencer\\Desktop\\LGG Drug (CSV).csv")
Error in load("C:\\Users\\Spencer\\Desktop\\LGG Drug (CSV).csv") :
bad restore file magic number (file may be corrupted) -- no data loaded
In addition: Warning message:
file �LGG Drug (CSV).csv� has magic number 'MANIF'

> LGG Drug<-read.table("C:\\Users\\Spencer\\Desktop\\LGG Drug
(CSV).csv",header=TRUE,sep=",")
Error: unexpected symbol in "LGG Drug"

Error in load("C:\\Users\\Spencer\\Desktop\\DRUG TRIAL GBM(word wrap).txt")
:
bad restore file magic number (file may be corrupted) -- no data loaded
In addition: Warning message:

Any insight into what perhaps I am inputting that is causes this
reoccurring error? Any suggestions as to another procedure for moving
forward would be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks,
Spencer Brackett
