[Scilab-users] Loading data from URL

[stef296]

Hi guys,

In Matlab you can do some like the below to read data from a CSV file at a
given URL. Anybody know how to accomplish this in Scilab?

Thanks.

url_string = 'http://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv?';
url_string = strcat(url_string, '&s=', mtlb_upper(stock_symbol)   );
url_string = strcat(url_string, '&d=', mtlb_num2str(this_month-1) );
url_string = strcat(url_string, '&e=', mtlb_num2str(this_day)     );
url_string = strcat(url_string, '&f=', mtlb_num2str(this_year)    );
url_string = strcat(url_string, '&g=d&a=0&b=1&c=', start_year);
url_string = strcat(url_string, '&ignore.csv');

//% Open a connection to the URL and retrieve data into a buffer
buffer      = java.io.BufferedReader(...
              java.io.InputStreamReader(...
              openStream(...
              java.net.URL(url_string))));


//% Read the first line (a header) and discard
dummy   = readLine(buffer);
