Dear friends. I have trobpe with path.
Below I have tried to paste a path and file name but it will not work

> path <- "D:/rw0641/own/own/procedures/GFR_TIME"
> path
[1] "D:/rw0641/own/own/procedures/GFR_TIME"
> path1 <- paste(path,"gfr.txt",sep="/")
> path1
[1] "D:/rw0641/own/own/procedures/GFR_TIME/gfr.txt"
-- this is good enough 
> data <- read.table("D:/rw0641/own/own/procedures/GFR_TIME/grf.txt",h=T)
> dat1 <- read.table(path1,h=T)
Error: "scan" can't open file
but doesn't work
> path1
[1] "D:/rw0641/own/own/procedures/GFR_TIME/gfr.txt" although the path is OK
- the unpasted variant is of course ok. What happened ?
