R studio: Data Set Problem

[umaru7]

Hello
How can I input this data from the website to R studio
https://s3.amazonaws.com/udacity-hosted-downloads/ud651/pseudo_facebook.tsv
or is there any way that this data set can be downloaded directly to R studio?

One good way is to use the readr package. If you're new to R, you might want to take a look at the Data import chapter of R for Data Science.

library(readr)

df <- read_tsv("https://s3.amazonaws.com/udacity-hosted-downloads/ud651/pseudo_facebook.tsv")
df
#> # A tibble: 99,003 x 15

You can read the file into R directly from the URL without first downloading it. So if you are trying to make your code work, you could just run

pf <- read.csv('https://s3.amazonaws.com/udacity-hosted-downloads/ud651/pseudo_facebook.tsv', sep = '\t')
