I'm trying to read a csv file into R using this command:

ratings <- read_csv("C:\Users\Ali\Downloads\338_m7_dataset_v3.0.zip\338_m7_dataset_v3.0")

and throws this error:

Thats because \ is used for escape line characeters, so use another \ to remove it .

Hi,

You can replace all \ with \\. It's trying to skip all the further chars. Or you can use / instead of \. It will also work.
