[R] How to Import Data

[Jacques VESLOT]

select the directory with setwd() and then import data:

setwd("d:/.../yourdirectory")
x111 <- read.table("x111.csv",...)

or indicate path behind filename:
x111 <- read.table("d:/.../yourdirectory/x111.csv",...)

besides, there are other functions to import data.
see ?read.table
