Dear Sirs,
I am just starting with R and I think it is a great system. Now, I want to
import Stata datasets (.dta) with read.dta, but receive errormessages like:

Error in grep("^(http|ftp|https)://", file) : object "Rklein" not found

Error in read.dta("Rklein") :
  unable to open file: 'No such file or directory'
this happens when I use ""

What is the problem and how can I solve it?
Hi Rob,
Looks like you're on Windows, and you have probably fallen victim to the Microsoft (and Apple) "hide-everything-you-can-from-them" file manager defaults. Your file "Rklein" probably has an extension on it (maybe .dta?) and if you can find that by turning off extension hiding, you will probably see the solution immediately.
