This is why I asked for help as the error makes no sense to me. Regards, Rich

Compare your code:> source('input-summarize.R')to the contents of the directory:> input-summerize.RThe moral of the story is, use tab-completion or copy/paste.

I mis-named the script and didn't see that on the emacs buffer frame. Best regards, Rich

[R] source() fails in same directory as script: cannot find file
Hello,
I suspect the error is in the file input-summerize.R.
I creating a new file input-summerize2.R with only print("hello") for
instance and check if
>
setwd("~/documents/white-papers/geochemistry/willamette-river-mercury/scripts")
> source("input-summerize2.R")
works
Hope it helps,
Jeremie

[R] source() fails in same directory as script: cannot find file
I haven't seen mention of what OS or filesystem types are involved, but it superficially looks like it might be one of those cases where the filesystem is case-sensitive... check that all your directory and file names are capitalized correctly.
