Error message when loading the rdata

[danielyao12]

Hi Prof. Zhang:

I got an error message when I tried to load the rdata "Plants_WCVP.rdata" that I downloaded from https://github.com/nameMatch/Database:
library(U.Taxonstand)
load("Plants_WCVP.rdata")

Error in load("Plants_WCVP.rdata") :
bad restore file magic number (file may be corrupted) -- no data loaded
In addition: Warning message:
file ‘Plants_WCVP.rdata’ has magic number ''
Use of save versions prior to 2 is deprecated

I then tried other formated databases, including "Plants_WFO.rdata" and "Birds.rdata", and got the same error message. However, I was able to run the databaseExample successfully. Could you please have a look at this error message when you have time?

Thank you for your time!

Best regards,
Xin

Hi Prof. Zhang:

I found the right way to download the rdata file. For example, to download the "Plants_WFO.rdata", navigate to the folder https://github.com/nameMatch/Database/blob/main/Plants_WFO/Plants_WFO.rdata, click the "View raw" button, and wait for the downloading window to appear.

Thank you!

Best,
Xin

Great. We have made quite a lot of changes to update the database.
