Hi It's the first time I use R on mac, before I used on Windows, so I can't have my data when I have the function : read.table, my file is maned : data1.txt Do I use another format for my file? And when I trie list.file I have this answer : character(0) but I know where my file is on my computer. If anybody can help me? Thanks Cl?mence
You should copy the exact command you used, but it appears
that your working directory does not contain the file. Make
sure you are in the correct directory with
getwd()
then change to the correct directory with
setwd("directory where data1.txt is located")
or select the file interactively with
read.table(file.choose(), . . . .)

Hi
It's the first time I use R on mac, before I used on Windows,
so I can't have my data when I have the function : read.table,
my file is maned : data1.txt
Do I use another format for my file?
And when I trie list.file I have this answer : character(0)
but I know where my file is on my computer.
If anybody can help me?
Thanks
Cl?mence

No you don't need another format. read.table is the same on any operating system. What is your actual command and what error messages if any? It may be a path problem.
