Dear List, I am trying to solve a problem: I have approximately 100 Excel spreadsheets each with approximately 4 sheet each that I would like to download and import in R for analysis.
Unfortunately i realized (i also sent an email to the author or xlsReadWrite() ) that the read.xls() doesn't allow to import the file in R from internet. Here it is the the code: ciao<-read.xls("http://www.giustizia.it/statistiche/statistiche_dap/det/seriestoriche/corsi_proff.xls") This doesn't work.. How would you solve the problem in an automated way? I would not like to manually download each one, open it with excel and saving in in csv? Thanks, Francesco ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
