[R] Uploading CSV file into R

[Jannis]

Did you download this data to the location given in the command?

'Downloads/UNdata_Export_20110511_130705015.csv'

The way I read this eror message is that the file either does not exist 
or the path is speelled incorrectly! You probably have to set the 
working directory ( setwd() ) to one folder above "Downloads"....

Please make yourself familiar with the posting guide linked at the end 
of each list e-mail!

Only If you send us copies of the commands that caused the error (all of 
them!) and the error messages may we be able to help you.
