R help - Dec 2009 - Open user's R function

Dear all,

How can I open my own function in the R console window? For example, I have
a function called my.function.r saved at the following directory

E:\My documents\R files

Now I want to input a command in the R console window to open my.function.r.
How can I do it? Thank you in advance.

Lisa

Try:

source(file="E:/My documents/R files/my.function.r")

Note that I changed the backslashes to forward slashes. R grew up on  
Unix machines and the backslash is used as an escape character. You  
could, of course, escape the backslashes, but I can never remember  
whether you need two or three backslashes in a row to get the desired  
effect.
