can't import data to R studio on MacBook

[claradeng]

Hi there,

I was trying to import a csv file to R studio on my macbook pro but R couldn't find the file. Can anyone show me an example of what the file path is like on mac?

Check the output of getwd(), this is the current working directory. If the CSV file is not in this directory, then we need to provide the full path.

Now type: mydata <- read.csv(" then press TAB, this will help us auto-populate (auto-complete) the path to the file. Once we have the path and name of the file type ") and run.

it works! Thank you so much!

FAQ: How do I mark a solution?

If your question has been answered, don't forget to mark the solution! How do I mark a solution? Find the reply you want to mark as the solution and look for the row of small gray icons at the bottom of that reply. Click the one that looks like a box with a checkmark in it: [image] Hovering over the mark solution button shows the label, "Select if this reply solves the problem". If you don't see the mark solution button, try clicking the three dots button ( ••• ) to expand the full set of options. When a solution is chosen, the icon turns green and the hover label changes to: "Unselect if this reply no longer solves the problem". Success! [solution_reply_author] …
