[R] Downloading a .csv through a .jsp url with variable parameters - R code or package?

[jim holtman]

Something like this should work, only Sept has 30 days, not 31:

> files <- seq(as.Date('2008-09-30'), by = '1 day', length = 250)
> input <- paste(".....jsp?y="
+             , format(files, "%Y")
+             , "&m="
+             , format(files, "%m")
+             , "&d="
+             , format(files, "%d")
+             , sep = ""
+             )
>
> head(input)
[1] ".....jsp?y=2008&m=09&d=30" ".....jsp?y=2008&m=10&d=01"
[3] ".....jsp?y=2008&m=10&d=02" ".....jsp?y=2008&m=10&d=03"
[5] ".....jsp?y=2008&m=10&d=04" ".....jsp?y=2008&m=10&d=05"
