destfile = "test_google_docs.txt", mode = "wb")
# the file contains: x <- sample(100); plot(x)
source(paste(tempdir(), "/test_google_docs.txt", sep = ""))
# remove files from tempdir:
unlink(dir())
# Example 2:
setwd(tempdir())
download.file("http://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=0B2wAunwURQNsY2MwMzNhNGMtYmU4Yi00N2FlLWEwYTctYWU3MDhjNTkzOTdi",
destfile = "google_docs_script.txt", mode = "wb")
