This is an example of reading from a file that I took from the book "An
Introduction to Programming with Mathematica" by Wellin. The author
provides data for a number of examples and the reader is instructed to store
this date either in the BaseDirectory or the UserBaseDirectory. I entered
the Mathematica code (v6) as this with the programs response...
datafile =
ToFileName[{$BaseDirectory, "Applications", "IPM3", "DataFiles"},
"dataset.m"]
Out[4]=
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application
Data\Mathematica\Applications\
\IPM3\DataFiles\dataset.m
data = Import[datafile, "Table"]
$Failed
The idea is to read in file dataset.m and to use it as data.
In the event this was some v6 quirk, I tried this with Mathematica 5.2 and
it also didn't work
What am I doing wrong?
