I am planning to download a large number of files from some website. I am using the following script.
files2down = c('aaa', 'bbb', ................) for (i in 1: len) { print(paste('downloading file', i, ' of total ', len)); url = paste(urlPrefix, files2down[i], sep='') destfile = paste (dest, 'inDir', files2down[i], sep='/' ) download.file(url, destfile, quiet = FALSE) } It works fine as long as the file is present. When the file is not present, it exit from loop. Is there a way to continue looping if error occurs.
