Read some more introductory material and also read the R Import/Export Manual. There is a treasure trove of contributed documentation at the r-project website.> > It always gives me Syntax error message. > > Thanks for your help >-- David Winsemius, MD Heritage Laboratories West Hartford, CT
Thanks for useful replies. It is working now.
I was typing only read.table(/Users/username/Desktop/test.txt/) without
surrounding the filename with quotes. It works when i use it as
read.table('/Users/username/Desktop/test.txt').
Cheers
