[R] (no subject)

Hi!

The message means that R does not find the file. 

Under windows (if you are using windows) you must escape the backslash with a backslash \.
or give us an example how you provide the path to the file.


Or use:

file.choose()

or.

library(tkWidgets)
fileBrowser()


both functions will return the proper path to the file.

Sincerely 

Eryk
