Hello Dr. Cannell,

For Task 6 (importing the Chocolate txt file) I am get an error stating argument widths is missing even though I included it. I tried making a small test.txt file in notepad and it gave me the same error when I tried to import it. I attached a screenshot of my code and the error. Do you have any advice on how to fix this?

Thank you for your help,
Olivia Jones

Hi Olivia, One issue I noticed was with the function you're using (read.fwf). That is a slightly different function than the one I use in my code. I think that should help, but please let me know if I'm wrong. Get Outlook for iOS<https://aka.ms/o0ukef>

Thank you so much I must have selected the wrong one when it auto-filled suggestions. It worked when I changed it to read_fwf.
