I am continuing to have problems downloading data as prescribed in books
about R such as “Analyzing Baseball Data with R”.
In chapter 3 (page 67) the instructions to download baseball Hall of Fame
data from the package tidyverse are:
library(tidyverse)
-- Attaching packages --------------------------------------- tidyverse
1.3.0 -- v ggplot2 3.2.1
v purrr 0.3.3 v tibble 2.1.3
v dplyr 0.8.3 v tidyr 1.0.0 v stringr 1.4.0
v readr 1.3.1 v forcats 0.4.0
-- Conflicts ------------------------------------------
tidyverse_conflicts() -- x dplyr::filter() masks stats::filter()
x dplyr::lag() masks stats::lag()
Warning messages: 1: package ‘tidyverse’ was built under R version 3.6.2 2:
package ‘purrr’ was built under R version 3.6.2
The package seems to load correctly but when I try to call up the data I get
an error message.
***********************************************************************************************
hof <- read_csv("data/hofbatting.csv")
Error: 'data/hofbatting.csv' does not exist in current working directory
('C:/Users/Owner/Documents').

I have no idea where the data is hiding. Can someone give me some
directions.
It's not clear from your message whether you have the file on your disk
or not. If you do, then instead of giving the name, try using the
file.choose() function, e.g.
filename <- file.choose()
hof <- read_csv(filename)
That will open a standard dialog to allow you to specify the filename
correctly. If you don't know where to look for it, I can't help:
presumably instructions are given in the book, but I don't have a copy.
You'll just have to read more of it.
