In Windows versions of R/RStudio when refering to filename paths, you need to either use two "\\" characters instead of one, OR use the reverse slash "/" as used in Linux/Unix. It's an unfortunate conflict between R and Windows in that a single \ character by itself is treated as an escape character.
It's all Microsoft's fault for using the wrong direction slash in MS-DOS and not conforming to Unix style c. 1980.

Hi Bill, r"{C:\Users\Anbu\Desktop\sas\}" - This is the key and code below worked. fsasdat<-function(dsn) { pat=r"{C:\Users\Anbu\Desktop\sas\}" str1=str_c(pat,dsn,".sas7bdat") read_sas(str1) #return(str1) } allmetrx=fsasdat("all") str(allmetrx) Thank you.
