ask Colin about this raw-octet file business #5

Closed atn38 closed 2 years ago

relates to #2

right now we are supplying the entity IDs, reading in raw streams -- parsing into in-memory R objects -- THEN finally writing to CSV. Not very nice or elegant.

so, is there a quick way to programmatically download CSVs from EDI that also retain the names?

Update: have asked Colin, he says no better way. So boils down options are EDIutils/metajam/curl. Will investigate curl, or just attach names manually.
