Hey listers,
I've posted this doubt other day... But I am still having a hard
time...
I have a MAC and I am not getting how to use the read.table command...
At the bottom of the FINDER application I have the following path:
Macintosh HD>Usuários>User>Marcio>UdeM>Travail Dirigé>Data>MU284
Population.txt
I didn't find out how I could copy and paste this path as it is
possible to
do with the Windows. But, it's ok, cause I am trying the following
command
with all possible choices, as below:
file<-read.table("/User/Marcio/UdeM/Travail Dirigé/Data/MU284
Population.txt",header=T,skip=24)
file<-read.table("/Users/Marcio/UdeM/Travail Dirigé/Data/MU284
Population.txt",header=T,skip=24)
file<-read.table("/Usuários/User/Marcio/UdeM/Travail Dirigé/Data/MU284
Population.txt",header=T,skip=24)
file<-read.table("/Usuários/Users/Marcio/UdeM/Travail Dirigé/Data/
MU284
Population.txt",header=T,skip=24)
I've checked already the forum and I found a similar post that says
to use
the command with the following path: "/Users/Marcio/UdeM/Travail
Dirigé/Data/MU284 Population.txt"
But at the bottom of the FINDER application is just USER.
Anyway I tried those options and other... But didn't work...
If anybody could give me a clue... THANKS A LOT!!!
Two choices (and in any case, don't call your input dataframe just
"file", although that is probably not why you are having problems):
option 1) Type in:
file_inp <-read.table("",header=T,skip=24)
### then click-hold-drag the file from a Finder window to the R
console until the cursor bar is between the two quotes, then "release-
click".
optiuon 2)
file_inp<-read.table(file=file.choose(),header=T,skip=24)
## and then navigate to the location of your file using the Mac File
Chooser window.
And in the future, such questions should go to the Mac-SIG list.
