Hi Sarah, may I propose that you spend a bit more time to figure out what is going on before you post. Also, as much as we like to help, I have to remind you that we are a bioinformatics related site, and cannot deal with general programming or R-on-windows problems. I understand that learning something new can be frustrating at times but a lot of things need to be figured out by yourself, or googled, if possible. Then you would find this immediately: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8425409/file-path-issues-in-r-using-windows-hex-digits-in-character-string-error
I am sorry for having to close a lot of your questions, I hope you understand why.
It is OK Michael, you are right
I have already an account in stackoverflow but really I did not get any help there and whichever I learn is from biostar. Anyway sorry
Most of the time, there might be a solution to your problem already, so you almost never need to make a new question. The approach is easy: take the error message:
Identify the invariant portion: used without hex digits in character string starting
Search using your preferred web search engine -> profit.
Thank you Michael,
I was typing
setwd("C:\Users\yang\Documents\Downloads\New folder")but when I replaced\with/, codes worked.Hello sarah!
