R help - Feb 2009 - error using scan

Hi,
I hope you are fine. I am trying to use scan to open a file "prueba"
extension txt. I am using the scan command as

scan("C:/prueba")
and I get the following error:

Error in file(file, "r") : cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning message:
In file(file, "r") : cannot open file 'prueba': No such file
or directory
I did the following, however I can not fix it. I really appreciate any help.
Thank you.
> list.files()
[1] "desktop.ini"  "Mi música"    "Mis imágenes"
"Mis vídeos"
"R"
 stdin()
description       class        mode        text      opened    can read
can write
    "stdin"  "terminal"         "r"     
"text"    "opened"
"yes"        "no"
 getwd()

Hi Sharai,
I think scan() needs the extension as well. Have you tried

scan("C:/prueba.txt")

(this assumes that prueba.txt resides in your c-root dir)
hth.
