Hello again, My apologies for the delayed response... computer troubles. In reference to Ms. Goslee's and Mr. Barry's query, the following is the error code received after I inputted my R command
the_data<-read.csv(file="GBM_clinical_drug.csv",header=TRUE,sep",") Error: unexpected string constant in "the_data<-read.csv(file="GBM_clinical_drug.csv",header=TRUE,sep","" Given this, should I proceed with implementing the path<getwd() ,since I am, as he suggested trying to set the variable *path* to my working directory with path<-"." Mr. Mittal also recommended importing with r studio, which I shall try in the meantime.
