Sorry for stupid question but is there any way to just download file (excel
file) from the url to the disk with a certain name?
Now it seems that I should open it (via read.xls) and then write it by
write.xls. But I am pretty sure it should be something much easier?
read.xls in the gdata package can take the url of an Excel file and
will read it into R. (It transparently downloads it into a temporary
file and then reads it from there.)
