I am trying to download and unzip multiple files from a URL to then use in STATA.
I have requested data from the Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation, for which they have provided a link to 331 zip files here:
http://ghdx.healthdata.org/gbd-resul...90fcefba756ce1
I copied the link for the first file which is this:
http://s3.healthdata.org/gbd-api-201...12208c13-1.zip
all the other files are then the same with the end being -1 to -331.
I was planning to use "copy" and then "unzipfile" and run a loop from 1 to 331. However I am getting the error message "invalid file specification" when try this for the first file following:
copy http://s3.healthdata.org/gbd-api-201...12208c13-1.zip
Does anyone know why this is the case?
Best Wishes
Joe
