Hi
I am trying to download and unzip a zip file from the following location.
http://www.nseindia.com/content/historical/DERIVATIVES/2011/DEC/fo08DEC2011bhav.csv.zip
I initially there was issue with useragent so i ran the following code
options(HTTPUserAgent="Firefox/8.0.1")
u
"http://www.nseindia.com/content/historical/DERIVATIVES/2011/DEC/fo08DEC2011bhav.csv.zip"
o = getURLContent(u, verbose = TRUE, useragent =
getOption("HTTPUserAgent"))
now I want to unzip and save this file. I was initially working on matlab
and have recently moved to R.
any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Himanshu Y

I tried using unzip but it gave the following error "Invalid zip name
argument"
options(HTTPUserAgent="Firefox/8.0.1")
u
"http://www.nseindia.com/content/historical/DERIVATIVES/2011/DEC/fo08DEC2011bhav.csv.zip"
o = getURLContent(u, verbose = TRUE, useragent =
getOption("HTTPUserAgent"))
after this I ran the unzip
unzip(o , files = NULL, list = FALSE, overwrite = TRUE, junkpaths = FALSE,
exdir = "D:\\", unzip = "internal", setTimes = FALSE)
but i got this error
Error in unzip(o, files = NULL, list = FALSE, overwrite = TRUE, junkpaths FALSE,
:
invalid zip name argument
Thanks
