Only ever worked with a SQL data set, so learned something new, thanks Steve

Subtle difference between third and fourth options caught me out.

The use of backslashes in file addressing is very well explained e.g. in R for Microsoft Excel Users
Easier is to use forward slashes: file="c:/nfl/2016qbstats.csv"

It's a bit of an easy question, it would have been a bit, harder if it had escaped \ in one of the red herrings. As it stands, if one knows that a \ in a quoted filename has to be escaped that takes you immediately to the right answer without having to know anything about read.csv or the inability to copye from a file without calling a function to do it or the nonexistence of loadcsv (or maybe it exists in some obscure package somewhere?).

Forward slash is easier. We can use the singlequote as well for the file path parameter

It is nice to see A NFL-related question that does not assume that you know the rules. Thanks, Steve!

I didn't even realized that it was an NFL related question. Only after I saw your comment and went back to find out that it had QB stats for last season.
