Hi
Reading the help for ?unz I was wondering if I can read data into R from within
an zipfile that is on some website, like maybe:
dtaa =
read.table(unz("http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/examples/alsm/alsm.zip","Ch01pr19.dat"))
Thanks for letting me know if you came acros such a thing before.

opening a file from within a zipfile that is online

'description' has to be a filepath of a zip file. You will have to download it first.
