[R] IMPORTING FILE FROM EXCEL

[John Sorkin]

Rashmi,
I suggest you store the file as a comma separated file (.CSV). You can
import a .csv file using the read.csv function
data<-read.csv("d:\\myfile.csvl")
I suggest you look at the help file for read.csv, i.e.
help(read.csv)

Hi 
  I am a beginner with R.
  I have been trying to import a tab delimited excel file but i get the
following error message
  > file.show('C:\Documents and
Settings\stats\Desktop\SUMI\plasma2.txt')
Warning message:
file.show(): file 'C:Documents and SettingsstatsDesktopSUMIplasma2.txt'
does not exist 
 I have understood the programming part but i cannot go ahead unless i
have imported the file. I have consulted the R-help archive without
success.
  Any help will be appreciated
  Thanks in advance
