To the command

read.csv("C:\Documents and Settings\Felhasználó\Asztal\aktuális\vizsga_lekeres.csv")

I received the following error message:

Error in file(file, "r") : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning messages:

1: '\D' is an unrecognized escape in a character string

2: '\F' is an unrecognized escape in a character string

3: '\A' is an unrecognized escape in a character string

4: unrecognized escapes removed from "C:\Documents and Settings\Felhasználó\Asztal\aktuális\vizsga_lekeres.csv"

5: In file(file, "r") : cannot open file 'C:Documents and SettingsFelhasználóAsztalktuálisizsga_lekeres.csv': Invalid argument

What does "unrecognized escape" mean? How to fix it so that I can read this csv file correctly into R?

Did you try:

read.csv("C:/Documents and Settings/Felhasználó/Asztal/aktuális/vizsga_lekeres.csv")

    Maybe also tell them what the problem is, since they asked. *What does "unrecognized escape" mean?* – Rich Scriven May 17 '16 at 16:00

  • I switched the direction of the slashes and it now worked. Thanks very much! – coffito May 17 '16 at 17:52
