Hello Ashta,
You need to use double blackslashes, liike: "C:\\Documents and
Settings\\ashta\\MyDocuments\\R_data\\rel.dat"
I usually use the following to avoid writing the path:
#select file from a popup window
f <- file.choose()
#read the file. the .... is Rese for any other arguments e.g. header,
sep. quote, etc.
data <- read.table(f, ...)
Good luck! and welcome to R.
Keo.

Dear R-users,
I am a new user for R. I am eager to lean about it.
I wanted to read and summary of the a simple data file
I used the following,
rel <- read.table("C:/Documents and Settings/ashta/My
Documents/R_data/rel.dat", quote="",header=FALSE,sep="",col.names=
c("id","orel","nrel"))
summary(rel)
Below is the error message,
rel <- read.table("C:/Documents and Settings/ashta/My
Documents/R_data/rel.dat", quote="",header=FALSE,sep="",col.names=
+ c("id","orel","nrel"))
Error in file(file, "r") : cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning message:
In file(file, "r") :
cannot open file 'file=C:/Documents and Settings/sewalem/My
Documents/R_data/rel.dat': Invalid argument
summary(rel)
Error in summary(rel) : object 'rel' not found
Does it need a library? Where can I get the library?
Any help is highly appreciated
Ashta
