[R] Importing a CSV file

[David L Carlson]

First, make sure the file name is correct.

Second, try 

list.files("Users:/sezginozcan/Downloads/")

to see if the file is listed and you are looking in the correct folder.

Third, you may be able to locate and open the file using

A <- read.table(file.choose(), sep="\t", row.names=1, header=T)

I believe that "clipboard" works only on Windows computers.

Subject: [R] Importing a CSV file

I have been trying to import a csv file to r. but I get the same message
everytime. the message is

Error in file(file, "rt") : cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning message:
In file(file, "rt") :
  cannot open file 'Users:/sezginozcan/Downloads/beer.data.csv': No such
file or directory

I tried this command also
