sink("download.bat")
cat("powershell -File \"r-generated.ps1\"")
sink()
sink("r-generated.ps1")
cat("$wc=new-object system.net.webclient\n")
#download 'your_url_here' and save as temp.html in the working directory
cat(paste("$wc.downloadfile(\"", your_url_here, "\", \"", gsub("/", "\\\\", getwd()), "\\temp.html\")\n", sep = ""))
shell("download.bat")
