[R] Why I get this error? Error in close.connection(f) : invalid connection

[baptiste auguie]

Hi,

>From ?read.csv

"Alternatively, file can be a readable text-mode connection (which
will be opened for reading if necessary, and if so closed (and hence
destroyed) at the end of the function call)"

HTH,

baptiste
