[R] impossible # of errors in a simple code

[Michael Dewey]

A useful rule is to fix the first error you understand and hope that the 
others go away.

So what did you hope your function was going to do, if you called it?

Why did you think at this point that you had an object called file_inc?

>> sulfate <- subset(dat( , 2))

So you did not manage anywhere to define a function called dat.

>> nitrate <- subset(dat( , 3))
> Error in subset(dat(, 3)) : could not find function "dat"
>> mean(pollutant)
> Error in mean(pollutant) : object 'pollutant' not found

You have never defined it.

?save might help you here.
