Step 1 - Read a text file

A text file can be read from an url. Syntax for reading a text file - readLines("x.txt")

x <- readLines("https://storage.googleapis.com/dimensionless/python/files/In-Flanders-Fields.txt") head(x)

A text file can also be imported by adding it to te files by clicking into 'Upload to session storage'

x <- readLines("R_61_SampleTextFile.txt") head(x)
