This code does not work but assuming its somewhere along these lines: tryCatch(xml <- xmlTreeParse(xmlTxt, useInternal=TRUE), xml <- xmlMalFormed(f1)) -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/try-catch-bloc...

XML is a good tool reading data from web within R. But I wonder how could get the encoding correctly. library(XML) url <- 'http://www.szitic.com/docc/jz-lmzq.html' xml <- htmlTreeParse(url, useInternal=TRUE) q <- "//tbody/tr/td" dat <- unlist(xpathApply(xml, q, xmlValue)) df <- as.data.frame(t(matrix(dat, 4))) dt<-as.character(df[15,1]) The first column of df is dates in Chinese. dt is one of the Chinese dates. When I copied the content of dt into the email, it become the...

...is new playcount into the original XML. Here is a reproducible example showing what I want to do: ###### ### first download one of my xml from : ## https://www.dropbox.com/s/qxteao3z8ypyfqh/petitXMLwinamp.xml ## load it in R and root it: winamp<-xmlTreeParse("petitXMLwinamp.xml", useInternal = T) racine <- xmlRoot(winamp) racine # to view the library ### I can extract one song (the first one for the example): une.chanson <- xmlSApply(racine[[1]][["dict"]][[2]],xmlValue) ### I can extract the playcount of this track with: racine[[1]][["dict"]][[2...

Dear List, Do you know any way I can convert XML parameters into column headers. My data is in a csv file with each row containing a xml form of data , and multiple parameters ( <param1> data_val1 </param2> , <param2> data_val2 </param2> ) I want to convert it so each row caters to one record and each parameter becomes a different column. param1

I would like to learn how to parse a mixed text/xml document I downloaded from the sec.gov website (see example below). I would like to parse this to get the value for each xml tag and then access it within R, but I don't know much about xml so I don't even know where to start debugging the errors I am getting in this example code. Can anyone help me get started? Thanks, Roger ftp

Could someone provide a link or examples of parsing XML document in R? Few specific questions below: For instance I can retrieve specific nodes using this: node <- xpathApply(xml, "//" %+% xtag, xmlValue) 1) I want to be able to retrieve parent node for this node, how can I do this? getParentNode() does not seem to cut it. 2) How can I retrieve children nodes for a particular

Dear all, I'd like to use R to read in data from the web. I need some help finding an efficient way to strip the HTML tags and reformat the data as a data.frame to analyze in R. I'm currently using readLines() to read in the HTML code and then grep() to isolate the block of HTML code I want from each page, but this may not be the best approach. A short example: x1 <- readLines("
