[R] Retrieving data from survey in R Studio

[Ulrik Stervbo]

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
