Hi Henrik,
1. It could be that a virus checker locks the file.
This is some internal document so I don't think so and this was monitor
by our IT security team.
2. There are Windows software tools that identify which process locks
a particular file, e.g. LockHunter (http://lockhunter.com/). Those
should help you figure out what's going on.
ok, thanks.
3. R.utils::downloadFile() tries it's best to download files
atomically, i.e. it either gives you a fully downloaded file or not
all. In your case, you might still end up with a temporary corrupt
file, but at least it will have a filename that is different than the
one you ask for.
My issue is that if I run over 300'000 documents and I will get the same
amount of corrupted files.
I will try some solution with R or try with python
Thanks
Cheers
Fabien
Hi there,
Sometime download.file() failed to download the file and I would like to
remove the correspond file.
The issue is that I am not able to do it and Windows complain that the file
is use by another application.
I try to closeAllConnections(), or unlink() before removing the file but
without sucess.
Any idea how I should proceed &
Please find the code below
# consider warning as an error
options(warn=2)
# try to download the file
tryCatch({
download.file(url,path_file,mode="wb",quiet=quiet)
return(0)
},error = function(e){
if(verbose){
print(e)
print(e$message)
}
# close file when it failed
if (file.exists(path_file)){
closeAllConnections()
#unlink(path_file, recursive=TRUE)
#file.create(path_file,overwrite=TRUE,showWarning=TRUE)
#system(paste0('open "', path_file, '"'))
file.remove(path_file,overwrite=TRUE,showWarning=TRUE)
}
return(1)
}
)
Thanks a lot
Cheers
Fabien
