使用 readxl 包从 URL 读取 Excel 文件

Question

考虑互联网上的一个文件(比如这个(注意 https 中的 s)https://evs.nci.nih.gov/ftp1/CDISC/SDTM/SDTM%20Terminology.xls

如何将文件的sheet 2读入R？

以下代码是所需的近似值(但失败了)

url1<-'https://evs.nci.nih.gov/ftp1/CDISC/SDTM/SDTM%20Terminology.xls'
p1f <- tempfile()
download.file(url1, p1f, mode="wb")
p1<-read_excel(path = p1f, sheet = 2)

Answer 1

这对我在 Windows 上有效:

library(readxl)
library(httr)
packageVersion("readxl")
# [1] ‘0.1.1’

GET(url1, write_disk(tf <- tempfile(fileext = ".xls")))
df <- read_excel(tf, 2L)
str(df)
