R cannot open any file in the wording directory

Question

I tried to import csv data to R as usual. I am pretty sure that I have set the correct directory. However, I found that R could not find any file in this working directory.

This is the error,

Warning in file(file, "rt") :
  cannot open file 'daily-min-temperatures.csv': No such file or directory
Error in file(file, "rt") : cannot open the connection

I checked getwd() , and that shows the correct working directory. Also checked through list.files() , and the file is in the list.

Answer 1

Please try to use a full path, such as:

read.csv("C:/Users/username/Documents/daily-min-temperatures.csv")
