Hello
In R, is it possible to load a script file into the editor via a web
address?
That is, I have a script file I want people to grab located at
http://www.foo.com/bar.R
and want to do something like file.edit("http://www.foo.com/bar.R").
But
that doesn't seem to work.
thanks

In almost all cases the answer is No. Some Web servers support WebDAV, but standard HTTP does not work that way. Has nothing to do with R. -- Sent from my phone. Please excuse my brevity.

Well, two steps: download.file() and then file.edit().
