Starting R: Error: '\U' used without hex digits in character string starting “”C:\U"

1.7K Asked by Aryangupta in Data Science , Asked on Jun 6, 2021

I run R on Windows and have a CSV file on the Desktop. I load it as follows,

x<-read.csv("C:UserssurfcatDesktop2006_dissimilarity.csv",header=TRUE)

but the R gives the following error message

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

So what's the correct way to load this file. I am using Vista
