Hey guys, i have a strange problem reading a .csv file. Seems not to be covered by the usual read.csv techniques.
The relevant data i want to use, seems to be saved as the label of the data point. Therefore i can not really use it spec<-"EU2001" part1<-"http://www.bundesbank.de/statistik/statistik_zeitreihen_download.php?func=directcsv&from=&until=&filename=bbk_" part2<-"&csvformat=de&euro=mixed&tr=" tmp<-tempfile() load<-paste(part1,spec,part2,spec,sep="") download.file(load,tmp) file<-read.csv(tmp,sep=";",dec=",", skip="5") (relevant<-file[,2][1]) Thanks a lot for your help and your time!
