Can't import import datasets stored on computer - Special character??

[Stian_G]

I am fairly new to Rstudio, and need to use it for coming university projects. I am trying to import datasets but receive errors as soon as i open Rstudio and try to import datasets.

This is the error message taht appers in the console when launching Rstudio:

Error in file.exists(templateYaml) :
file name conversion problem -- name too long?

When I'm trying to import datasets i receive the following error:
Error in file(file, "rt") :
invalid input 'C:/Users/My_name/Desktop/R/Loyalty Program Data_Sample.xlsx'

I believe the problem stems from my name, which contains a special character; namely the Norwegian letter Æ/æ which is being printed as � in the R console.
I have attempted to change the my local name stored on computer, but rstudio still returns the same error, even after removing the special character from my name and reinstalling R studio.

Has anyone encountered such a problem before? help would be much appreciated

Norwegian letter Æ/æ

Hi @Stian_G , I think like you that the problem are this strange character.
In a ocassiton I have the same problem but not with R. Im try to change the user name but dont run well. My solution was create a new user without stranger character.

A solution for you could be work in a cloud, with Rcloud but only the first 25 works hours are free.
