Hi Sezgin,

An alternative option If you do not know the path to your file, is to use
file.choose() within read.table() to locate it in your machine:

a <- read.table(file.choose(), sep = "\t", rownames = 1, header = TRUE)  #
a window will pop up!
head(a)

However, in my experience, it is always better to know where the file is
located.

HTH,
Jorge.-
