Hi,
I'm just wondering about file name syntax.
Instead of
stuff <- read.table("e:/statcourses/stuff.dat")
I'd like to be able to do
stuff <- read.table("ptolemy/statcourses/stuff.dat")
or
stuff <-
read.table("ptolemy.math.waikato.ac.nz/statcourses/stuff.dat")
that is, I'd like to be able to read a file from a server without
necessarily mounting the server as a drive letter on the PC.
Is that do-able?
