[R] rdwd package error: invalid file argument raised by readDWD

[Jurat Shayidin]

Hi:

I tried to download germany' historical weather data with rdwd package.
However, when I tried to read downloaded data (1080 txt file in total) with
readDWD function, but R raised an error down below:

library(rdwd)

ftpURL <- selectDWD(name = "", exactmatch = TRUE,
                    res="monthly",
                    var="kl", per="historical", current = TRUE)
ftpFile <- dataDWD(file = ftpURL, dir = "stella/input/",sleep = 0)


> fooDat <- readDWD(ftpFile,
+                   meta = substr(ftpFile, nchar(ftpFile) - 3, 10000) ==
".txt",
+                   fread = FALSE, minfo = FALSE, format = NA, tz = "GMT",
+                   progbar = TRUE)
*Error in file.exists(file) : invalid 'file' argument*


I want to read all txt file in R for further analysis. But I got an error
above. How to resolve this error? Any instance help? Thank you.
