read.table.from.http: Read table or load RData objects from a remote server

In jotsetung/unsoRted: Unsorted R functions and utilities

Description

These functions read tables or load RData objects stored on a remote server (e.g. from http or ftp servers).

Usage

read.table.from.http( x, ... )
load.from.http( x, ... )

Arguments

x	The url pointing to the file.
...	Further arguments passed to the functions read.table or load, respectively.

Details

Internally, the function downloads the file first to the temporary folder and reads or loads the thus downloaded file. This is much faster than calling read.table or load providing the url as file name.

Value

In case of read.table.from.http the table. load will load the variable stored in the RData file into the workspace.
