I have been given a 'code' file and a 'data' file which is designed for use in R. I have successfully installed the program onto my pc, but am struggling to actaully use the code. How do i prompt R to read the code file and run? Any ideas?

Now that you've gotten this far, you might look at the manual that came with R, run the examples, etc. Jon -- Jonathan Baron, Professor of Psychology, University of Pennsylvania R page: http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/ -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)

If you feel comfortable with the manuals and cannot figure out how to solve a problem, you can ask the mailing list, but put an appropriate subject into the header, please. Well, you can use source() to source the code. How to import the data is described in the "R Data Import/Export" manual - it depends on the format of your "data". Since your questions is not very explicit, I cannot give an explicit answer. Please, tell us your OS and version of R in case of forthcoming questions.

You haven't given enough information, but from what I understand, your code file is a file with extension .R? If so, then you can either open the file in any text editor, copy and paste everything into R. Alternatively, you can use the source() command to source it in.
