Dear all,
Who will bail me out. Iam using R with S-Splancs. Anytime i typed in the
syntex, an error will appear eg setwd("C:\\TEMP)>dat <- read.table(cheshire_fmd.cvs",header=TRUE, sep=",")
>
dat.<-read.table(''chesire_fmd.cvs'',header=TRUE,sep='',)
Error: unexpected symbol in
"dat.<-read.table(''chesire_fmd.cvs"> dat$x.km <-dat$xcoord/1000
Error: object 'dat' not found> dat$y.km <-dat$ycoord/1000
Error: object 'dat' not found> dat[1:10,]
Error: object 'dat' not found> Library(splancs)
I was advised to remove the '>' at begining of each line, but its
like that symbol is a default. How do i do that.
Thanks

You left a quotation mark out of your very first statement, and then
some others. Quotation marks must be balanced.
Try this instead:
setwd("C:\\TEMP")
dat <- read.table("cheshire_fmd.cvs",header=TRUE,
sep=",")
dat[1:10,]

You have a syntax error:> dat.<-read.table(''chesire_fmd.cvs'',header=TRUE,sep='',)Error: unexpected symbol in "dat.<-read.table(''chesire_fmd.cvs" notice the sep='', probably should be sep = ',' On Tue, Mar 20, 2012 at 10:36 AM, adamu eloji <aeloji60 at yahoo.com> wrote:> Dear all, > > ?Who will bail me out.

That will not succeed. You can match either single quotes or double quotes but you cannot use ''name''.> Error: unexpected symbol in "dat.<-read.table(''chesire_fmd.cvs" >> dat$x.km <-dat$xcoord/1000> Error: object 'dat' not found >> dat$y.km <-dat$ycoord/1000 > Error: object 'dat' not found >> dat[1:10,] > Error: object 'dat' not found >> Library(splancs)Capitalization is crucial. Unless there is a package with a function named "Library" as a function, that will not do anything useful.> I was advised to remove the '>' at begining of each line, but its > like that symbol is a default. How do i do that.We have no context for that question. But again this is not a "homework help line".
