and is it working as it used to. Look at the problem I have run into.

Thank you for the interest in my problem.
I have been using the same script (see below) successfully for the past 5
months and now all of a sudden I have problems. Could R be
functioning differently under 2.10? Could Google have changed their
authentication procedures? In other words are you cur

If your goal is solely to download data from a Google Spreadsheet into R, it
is possible to configure the Google Docs access so that only read.csv is
needed. The details are here:

No one really knows how many people are being
affected.
Also one can minimize the impact like this:
1. In Rtools, change find.exe to find2.exe.
2. In R, create a 'find' a variable in any script using find
and at the top check for find2 and if found set the find
variable to find2 otherwise set it
