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.

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 Himanshu Y -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Download-and-Unzip-a-file-tp4194895p4198145.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
