R can't find my file, but I know it is there! How did you specify it? Backslashes have to be doubled in R character strings, so for example one needs "d:\\rw1081\\library\\xgobi\\scripts\\xgobi.bat". Make life easier for yourself by using forward slashes as path separators: they do work under Windows. -- Chuck Cleland, Ph.D. NDRI, Inc. 71 West 23rd Street, 8th floor New York, NY 10010 tel: (212) 845-4495 (Tu, Th) tel: (732) 452-1424 (M, W, F) fax: (917) 438-0894
Hello>From the error message, it seems like you should write something like this:library(foreign) read.spss("H:\\Desktop\\bd1\\experiencia1") Ivar Herfindal On Tue, 04 Mar 1997 06:47:01 +0000, Margarida J?lia Rodrigues Igreja <migreja at med.up.pt> wrote:> hi, > i can?t download a file in access. > > when i type: > > library(foreign) > > read.spss("H:\Desktop\bd1\experiencia1") > > comes the error: > Error in read.spss("H:Desktop\bd1experiencia1") : unable to open file > > > do you know what is the problem? > can you help me? > > margarida,porto,portugal > > ______________________________________________ > R-help at stat.math.ethz.ch mailing list > https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide! http://www.R-project.org/posting- > guide.html >

SPSS documents have normaly 'sav' as the extension. Raphael www.librasch.org PS: The first thing I change when installing Windows is that file extensions are always shown. PS2: Could you please check your date and time settings.

How did you specify it? Backslashes have to be doubled in R character strings, so for example one needs "d:\\rw1081\\library\\xgobi\\scripts\\xgobi.bat".

Hi, (I am not sure if this worked the first time I send it. So 2nd try.)

So try to us 'experiencia1.sav' as the filename (add '.sav' to the filename). SPSS documents have normaly 'sav' as the extension.
