[R] Importing a CSV file

[Frans Marcelissen]

Hi,
Should'nt it be A <- read.csv("C:\\\\Users\\Anthi\\Desktop\\R\\A.csv",
header=TRUE)
(c:\\ becomes c:\ In general I think it is better to use / and //)

Hi,

load() is for R's binary data files. You need to use read.csv(), as you
tried, but probably with the complete path.

A <- read.csv("C:\\Users\\Anthi\\Desktop\\R\\A.csv", header=TRUE)
