I can't seem to figure out why I'm getting this error. The output is
copied right off the screen. Notice how in some cases the back slash is
missing. In other cases, it can't read a file that I know is there.
Thanks in advance

Hi>From Faq7.8 How do file names work in Windows? As R uses C-style string handling, \ is treated as an escape character, so that for example one can enter a newline as \n. When you really need a \, you have to escape it with another \. Thus, in filenames use something like "c:\\data\\money.dat". You can also replace \ by / ("c:/data/money.dat").
