Error saying object not found in R

Question

I’m trying to execute this line on R

download.file(link_addr,destfile = ".DA/cameras.csv")

and I end up with this error:

Error in grep("\\.(gz|bz2|xz|tgz|zip|rda|RData)$", url) : 
  object 'link_addr' not found

Answer 1

Change your link_addr to linkAddr and it should work. It’s a good practice to not use Special character as variable names.
