[R] read password-protected files

[Shi, Tao]

Hi Josh and Prof. Ripley,

Thanks for the quick replies!

Sorry about the HTML email.  It's the default for my yahoo account and forgot to 
switch.

The question was asked by a colleague of mine.  After double-checking, yes, they 
are actually Excel files.  Any idea on how to approach this?

Thanks!

...Tao

There is nothing in the CSV standard about password protection.  I 
very much doubt that these actually CSV files.  So please follow the 
posting guide [*]

[*] as above: and as you sent HTML you are either full of contempt for 
the helpeRs or failed to do your homework.
