I am trying to download an Excel file from the the internet with the
following R command
download.file("http://ir.eia.gov/wpsr/psw09.xls","C:\\Temp\\psw09.xls";)
The file is downloaded but when I try and open it I get a message from Excel
telling me that the file is corrupt and it cannot be opened.
If I manually download the file it opens without problems.
Any insights would be gratefully received.
Kind regards
Pete
