[R] Error Reading from Connection

[Muhuri, Pradip (SAMHSA/CBHSQ)]

Hello,

Thank you so much for your guidance. This time I am providing more information. R Script and R Console are appended below.

The list.files() below provides evidence the existence of this file in the "temp" directory.  Please note that the "heroin.rdata" file was created from the SAS data set using the Stat Transfer utility software.

The file.access() below did not return mode=4.  Does this mean that I don't have read access to the file?  Is that the reason I could not load the file?

I would appreciate receiving help resolve the issue.

Pradip Muhuri

************R Script ***************
setwd ("D:/temp")
list.files()
file.access("heroin.rdata", mode=4)
load("heroin.rdata")

********* R Console *********

> setwd ("D:/temp")
> list.files()
[1] "heroin.rdata"
> file.access("heroin.rdata", mode=4)
heroin.rdata 
           0 
> load("heroin.rdata")
Error: error reading from connection

Insufficient information, and irrelevant information (the second error is a direct consequence of the first).

We have no way of knowing based on this input that your file is there. (?list.files). We also don't know if you have read access to that file (?file.access).

Since you posted in HTML and failed to provide the requested minimum information, you should probably (re-)read the Posting Guide mentioned at the bottom of this (and any other) message on this mailing list. You should probably also follow the advice given there to update your R software to the latest version so we don't go chasing any problems in R for your operating system that have already been solved.
