This is my question if i input this to my R data Mining tool 

mydata <- read.csv("filename.txt")

it will shows an error like below 

Error in file(file, "rt") : cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning message:
In file(file, "rt") :
  cannot open file 'filename.txt': No such file or directory

what can i do to clear this error

    @Devi Ganesh. Do you have the file in the working directory? check `getwd()` and also `list.files()`. If the file is in other directory, `setwd(path_to_file)` is one option or use `read.csv(file.choose())` – akrun Aug 11 '14 at 04:24

Use read.delim("Path of the file like C://Users//Desktop//filename.txt")

which has more options than read.csv
