Error code when using read.csv SOLVED

SOLVED
Hi

I am trying to load a csv file into R using the command

> Data<-read.csv("data.csv",header=T)

but I get the error code

Warning messages:
1: In if (!header) rlabp <- FALSE :
the condition has length > 1 and only the first element will be used
2: In if (header) { :
the condition has length > 1 and only the first element will be used

I've checked the directory is correct and I tried using the full file name F:\data.csv but that came up with the error code

Error in file(file, "rt") : cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning messages:
1: '\P' is an unrecognized escape in a character string
2: '\d' is an unrecognized escape in a character string
3: unrecognized escapes removed from "F:\data.csv"
4: In file(file, "rt") :
cannot open file 'F:data.csv': No such file or directory

What am I doing wrong because I have copied this from an old code and it worked then?

Using "Data<-read.csv("data.csv",header=T)" means that your csv file is in the same directory as your script file.

Using the full file name, you'll have to put in two slashes: "F:\\data.csv" so that R knows its a directory.

The first warning message is about the header. To be sure though, you should first fix your directory location. See if the second error still occurs.

Thanks, I've sorted out the directory but its still coming up with the error

Warning messages:
1: In if (!header) rlabp <- FALSE :
the condition has length > 1 and only the first element will be used
2: In if (header) { :
the condition has length > 1 and only the first element will be used

The warning message suggests that the length of the header parameter is greater than 1. Your code sets header=T and T is a shortcut for TRUE so the length should always be 1, however, if you have used T as an object earlier in the code this may be the cause of the problem as in the example below:

T<-c(1,2)
dat<-read.csv("data.csv",header=T)

That was the first thing in the code, but I've sorted it now by putting TRUE instead of T. Thanks for the help.

Hi
It's very simple. Error is about T.
change T to TRUE.
