Setting your working directory

You tried to set your working directory using the location listed in the properties tab of your file of interest by coding something like:

> setwd("C:\Users\Me\Documents\Rfolder\lab1")

But you get the following error:

Error: '\u' used without hex digits in character string starting "C:\u"

Q: What to do???

A: Change all your backslashes \ to forward slashes /

> setwd("C:/Users/Me/Documents/Rfolder/lab1")

> getwd()

[1] "C:/Users/Me/Documents/Rfolder/lab1"

Or you could just shortcut it:

File -> Change dir...

But that may be too easy
