Dear all,
I appologise for cluttering up the list with such a basic question,
however I have been unable to find the answer I want (possibly through
my poor usage of the R help system).
As I am visually impaired and using assistive technology, I think I
would prefer to use R from the terminal mode, i.e. by running rterm.exe
found in the bin directory.
I have managed to set my working directory, I know this as typing
getwd() returns
u:/copd/r
which is the directory I want. In this directory is a file named
InitialDataAnalysis.csv
which I would like to read in to R. However, I am simply unable to find
the surely simple command to do this. Just typing
InitialDataAnalysis.csv reports "object not found" etc, as does
read.file("InitialDataAnalysis.csv") etc. I am surely making a simple
mistake? Please could someone tell me how to read this file in to the
terminal window?
I know the file is in the directory and in the correct format as I am
able to open it successfully in the R GUI, in this environment the file
works properly, I can subset it, make dataframes etc, but as I say I
would like to be able to do this in the terminal rather than the GUI.
I am new to R so please have patients with this request.
Many thanks for any help,
Robin.
