You probably have not reset the directory -- go to the session tab on the R
window, click and go to ?set working directory? as C

I am just beginning to learn R, using _R for Dummies_ by Andrie de Vries and
Joris Meys. I am using Windows 7, and RGui (64-bit) version 3.0.2. I have
reached the chapter on "Getting Data Into and Out of R." But the code
they use
for importing data doesn't seem to be working for me.
Their example is:> elements <- read.csv(file.path("f:",
"elements.csv"))
Since I don't have any such file, I am trying to use a file I have. I went
to
Excel, brought up my file titled JPH_data, and saved it as .csv (comma
delineated) on my main hard drive C:
Then I entered:> mammals <- read.csv(file.path("C:",
"JPH_data.csv"))
I got the following:Error in file(file, "rt") : cannot open the
connection
In addition: Warning message:
In file(file, "rt") :
cannot open file 'C:/JPH_data.csv': No such file or directory
Aside from the obvious (how can it say "no such file or directory"
when I just
saved one such?), the "cannot open the connection" is also unexpected.
What am I
doing wrong here?
