Re: Running CSV File

Faith,

What you report is not compatible:

As for g<-read.csv( "cancer_data", header= True, sep=','), I got this
message: In file(file, "rt") :
cannot open file 'Cancer_Data': No such file or directory.

Either your file name contains upper case as in Cancer_Data or it does not. You do not get that error message from that function call.

Please reproduce your data more faithfully.

To whom it may concern,

I am trying to save this file "cancer data," which I have attached in this
email, into working directory and when I click on "to source file location"
under "set working directory" it says- The current active source is not
saved so does not have a directory to change into. I even clicked on
"choose directory" under set working directory, my file still won't show
up.

As for g<-read.csv( "cancer_data", header= True, sep=','), I got this
message: In file(file, "rt") :
cannot open file 'Cancer_Data': No such file or directory.

Thanks,
Faith DiJulia
