Answer goes out to Adam Sampson.

It looks like you have a problem because the path name has non-English characters in it. You have two option:

• rename directory into English then use "Import Text Data";
• read a dataset from a console using command dataset <- read_csv("c:/ <copy rest of path> /Affect.txt").
