R help - Jun 2014 - Using R Studio Version 0.98.507, having trouble with read.table and an Excel CSV file, keep getting '+'

I saved what I consider a medium size Excel file--about 2000x 40 as a CSV.
I am NOT sure the save went well as it took over five minutes to do it
(Intel i7 running at 240 GHz, 12 GB RAM).

When I put in the following code , I get a "+" instead of
">".

read.table("c:/users/Richard lerner/downloads/PAZ study.csv, sep
",", header =TRUE)



I have read the documentation on "read.table"

Hello Richard

Initially it appears that you left off a closing " mark at the end of the
file name.  Also why don't you use read csv?
