I don't think you can read files into R like that. This answer http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3236651/read-data-from-internet on Stack Overflow tells you, you could use the RCurl package.
Here are more examples on getting data from online sources https://www.r-bloggers.com/getting-data-from-an-online-source/ You could also just download the file manually and open it using read.scv Hope this helps, Ulrik On Thu, 18 Aug 2016 at 19:10 Barathan Roy Pinas <bpin3...@uni.sydney.edu.au> wrote: > Hello, > > > I have been given a .csv file and it is not loading.
