I am trying to call a url that outputs the file as CSV.
this is the command to get the file:
systems <- read.table("http://test.net?today.csv", header=TRUE, sep=",") this is what the today.lcsv file looks like: Date,Name,value1,value2,value3,value4 9/2/2011,test1,39037,6.3575,55,100 I get this error: duplicate 'row.names' are not allowed I think the problem is that Date column name is causing. when I take out the Date from the datay.csv file and do a read.table again, it works and it automatically renames the column name as X. Can some one tell me what is going on here?I’d say you’re correct. It’s hard to tell you the best solution without seeing more of your data; it could also be that you have some unexpected characters in the head of the file. row.names = NULL should allow you to bring in the Date variable. You may also want to use read.csv instead of read.table since you’re bringing in a csv file. It will make the call simpler.
