Usually, along with that error message, you get a warning
that gives a few details about the problem, like the name
of the file and the reason it could be opened. E.g.,
> filename <- "no\\such\\file.blah.blah"
> file(filename, "r", encoding="UTF-8")
Error in file(filename, "r", encoding = "UTF-8") :
cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning message:
In file(filename, "r", encoding = "UTF-8") :
cannot open file 'no\such\file.blah.blah': No such file or directory
Did you suppress warnings?
