Hi! I have the data in a tab delimited text file titled "ken_data_try_anova." I tried to import it into R entering> read.delim(ken_data_try_anova)but received the error message Error in read.table(file = file, header = header, sep = sep, quote = quote, : object 'ken_data_try_anova' not found I have another file called 10423nad.txt. I tried>data<-as.matrix(read.table(C:\Users\gtsalazar1979\Documents\TANOVA_1.0.0\10423nad.txt)) >)but got the error message Error: unexpected input in "data<-as.matrix(read.table(C:\" How do I place the data where the import function can find it? Or, how do I correct my use of the import functions? Thank you for your time and patience! Any guidance toward a solution means a lot to me :) Cheers, Georgina To'a Salazar
Hi, Georgina, using quotation marks around the file name like in> read.delim( "ken_data_try_anova")might help.

Try: data<-as.matrix(read.table("C:\\Users\\gtsalazar1979\\Documents\\TANOVA_1.0.0\\10423nad.txt")) or data<-as.matrix(read.table("C:/Users/gtsalazar1979/Documents/TANOVA_1.0.0/10423nad.txt")) That is, replace the backslashes with forward slashes (and don't forget the quotes)> How do I place the data where the import function can find it?

But you need a string containing the filename (and the difference between strings and variables are the quotes). The following, for example, would also work: derp <- "ken_data_try_anova" read.delim(derp) What you also want to do, is not only read the table, but also store it in a data frame: mydata <- read.delim("ken_data_try_anova") Have fun, Alex
