csv read from url has one line

Question

When executing the code from a R console:

 csv <-getURL('https://raw.github.com/jeanpat/pyFISH/master/GUI/karyotyper/example%20classification/source%20data/features/jp-Jpp48-1-DAPI.csv')

> csv

> dat <- read.csv(csv)
Erreur dans file(file, "rt") : impossible d'ouvrir la connexion

csv is viewed as a char. How to make a dataframe?

Thank you.

Answer 1

Your csv being a string after reading it with getURL , you need to do:

read.table(text = csv, sep = ';')

#           V1        V2        V3       V4        V5        V6        V7
