[R] Accessing data via url

[moldovean]

hi
I think this already a closed topic since you figure it out yourself.
but you can always try to fetch data from Google docs (first make the
spreadsheet public) and then writing this snippet:


library(RCurl)
u="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?hl=en_US&hl=en_US&key=0As6HUAxhy0Q7dDB0bjh4T2RyS3pIQkdXdGc2U0ZZc3c&single=true&gid=0&output=csv"

content = getBinaryURL(u, ssl.verifypeer = FALSE)
tmp = tempfile()
write(rawToChar(content), file = tmp)
mydata<- read.csv(gzfile(tmp))
mydata

it works for me and hopefully it'll work nor newbies like me too :)
