[R] xpathSApply skip if text equals postseason

I'm running into a road block here and I can't figure out what I'm
doing wrong.  I need to skip over the link if the text equals postseason.  The
text is in the second li in the xpaths below in my code. I tried
li[not(.,"postseason")] as I thought that is what I needed to exclude
the postseason link but it doesn't work. This link will show you an example
of want I want to exclude under standard batting > game logs > postseason
http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/j/jeterde01.shtml place this
http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/j/jeterde01.shtml in playerURLs and
you should season the postseason link returned.  How can I skip over the
postseason link?  Thanks! #GET YEARS PLAYED LINKS


yplist = NULL 

playerURLs <-
paste("http://www.baseball-reference.com",datafile17[,c("hrefs")],sep="")

for(thisplayerURL in playerURLs){ 

doc <- htmlParse(thisplayerURL) 
yplinks <- data.frame( 
  names =  xpathSApply(doc,
'//*[@id="all_standard_batting"]/div//ul/li[2]/ul/li/a',xmlValue),
  hrefs = xpathSApply(doc,
'//*[@id="all_standard_batting"]/div/ul/li[2]/ul/li/a',xmlGetAttr,'href'))

yplist = rbind(yplist, yplinks) 

} 

yplist[,c("hrefs")]

[R] R convert pdf/png to html

... as in: the png exists in a directory that is accessible to the server?

That would be as simple as creating a HTML document with the following contents:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
  <head><title="Image"></head>
  <body><img src="myPNGimage.png"></body>
</html>
