readOGR() cannot open file

Question

wmap <- readOGR(dsn=\"~/R/funwithR/data/ne_110m_land\", layer=\"ne_110m_land\")

This code is not loading the shape file and error is generated a

Answer 1

For me, the command returned the Cannot open layer error when I included the dsn and layer tags.

So when I included it all just as readOGR('~/R/funwithR/data/ne_110m_land/ne_110m_land.shp') it worked.

Note that my file was a gjson, so I've only seen this with readOGR('~/R/funwithR/data/ne_110m_land/ne_110m_land.gjson')
