Read data in Chapter 4

[benjamin-coppel]

When you want to download NEISS data, the url of the repo doesn´t work.

I think that the url was update.

You need to put this url in order to fix the download function

download <- function(name){ url <- "https://github.com/hadley/mastering-shiny/tree/master/neiss/" download.file(paste0(url, name), paste0("neiss/", name), quiet = TRUE) }

For some reason, when I download the data using the function and then read it, the data looks so weird.

I have to download manually

I have the same issue. Did you find a solution? when I run the code the data doesn't look like what is the book

This is what I get (my folder path is different but I think that shouldn't be an issue)

This is what is in the book injuries <- vroom::vroom("neiss/injuries.tsv.gz") injuries

@carehu My "non-fancy" solution was download manually the files, put them in a folder and then read the data from this new folder in order to follow the example in the book.

Thank you! For products & population data I did like you explained and is working. But for the injuries data it still doesn't work. I have used the R.utils package to unzip the file and if I open the unzipped file in notepad it doesn't look like what is in the book. For now I think I will just skip the examples in this chapter. Thanks.

library(R.utils) gunzip("neiss/injuries.tsv.gz", remove=FALSE)
