I am trying to prepare a handout showing how to use R for factor analysis. As part of the exercise I want to save a correlation matrix on a tutorial web page. I can save with no problem (saving locally and then transferring to the web site). Although I can load() the local file, I am having problems getting loadURL to read the remote file. I have tried saving it as an ascii file or just using the default format.
Using R 1.9.0 on a Mac with OS 10.3
I first saved the file: save(big5r,file="big5r.txt",ascii=TRUE) and save(big5r,file="big5r") I can load either version from a local file using load().
I then have moved these files to a webserver and tried to load them using the loadURL() command.
Using loadURL() I get the following message
>loadURL("http://personality-project.org/r/datasets/big5r";) #the default format
Error: restore file may be from a newer version of R -- no data loaded
loadURL("http://personality-project.org/r/datasets/big5r.txt";) #ascii formatError: restore file may be from a newer version of R -- no data loaded
I can list the second file using a web browser and I can move the first file back to my machine and load it locally.
My problem seems to be with loadURL.
Any help would be appreciated.
