I am using htmlParse from XML library on a paricular website. Sometimes code fails, sometimes it works, most of the time id doesn't and i cannot see why. The file i am trying to parse is  http://www.londonstockexchange.com/exchange/prices-and-markets/international-markets/indices/home/sp-500.html?page=0 Sometimes the following code works n<-readHTMLTable(htmlParse(url)) But most of the

I am trying to parse a webpage using the htmlParse command in XML package as follows: library(XML) u = "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_population" doc = htmlParse(u) I get the following error: Error in htmlParse(u) : error in creating parser for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_population I am using a R 2.13.1 (32 bit version) on a 64 bit Windows.

Hello dear R-help mailing list. I wish to be able to have htmlParse work well with Hebrew, but it keeps to scramble the Hebrew text in pages I feed into it. For example: # why can't I parse the Hebrew correctly? library(RCurl) library(XML) u = "http://humus101.com/?p=2737" a = getURL(u) a # Here - the hebrew is fine. a2 <- htmlParse(a) a2 # Here it is a mess... None of

Hello All, I am trying to write a routine that loops over some links and parses those links using htmlParse.  The problem is that one of the links may display a pop up window on top of that link's web page.  If there is a pop up, the routine bombs and I get an error message that the url doesn't exist. Does the XML package (or perhaps another package) provide a way to deal with this

To get USDCAD rates from Bank of Canada, we first go url <- "http://banqueducanada.ca/en/rates/exchange-avg.html" select 12 months for Rates for the past and click "Get Rates" button. Then the page moves to address <- "http://banqueducanada.ca/cgi-bin/famecgi_fdps" and the rates show in the html page. htmlParse() can read the html document but

Dear colleagues, each time I use htmlParse, R crashes or hangs. The url I'd like to parse is included below as is the results of a series of basic commands that describe what I'm experiencing. The results of sessionInfo() are attached at the bottom of the message. The thing is, htmlTreeParse appears to work just fine, although it doesn't appear to contain the information I need (the

Hello dear R-help mailing list. Looks like the same issue in Russian: library(RCurl) library(XML) u = " http://www.cian.ru/cat.php?deal_type=2&obl_id=1&room1=1" a = getURL(u) a # Here - the Russian is fine. a2 <- htmlParse(a) a2 # Here it is a mess... None of these seem to fix it: htmlParse(a, encoding = "windows-1251") htmlParse(a, encoding =

I'm trying to scrape football projections from accuscore.com for the different positions (right now the projections are set to zeros, but that will change). I can get the QB projections, but I can't get the projections for any of the other positions (e.g., RB). How can I get the RB projections? I'm not sure what the actual website for the RB and other projections is. When I go to

Murray, Your commits earlier this evening to zh_CN.GB18030 fixed that -STABLE breakage, but zh_CN.GBK appears still to be missing, which causes 'make installworld' to fail.

Dear R Helpers, I am getting an error message from the try function that I don't understand so I am hoping that someone can help. I am scraping from web pages, but sometimes they disappear.

Hi, beginner to R and was having some problems scraping data from tables in html using the XML package. I have included some code below. I am trying to loop through a series of html pages, each of which contains a single table from which I want to scrape data. However, some of the pages are blank - and so it throws me an error message when it gets to htmlParse(). The loop then closes out and I

Hi all, Sorry for the rather uninformative subject, but the error I get is not very informative either. When using the XML and RCurl package to retrieve the content of an html page, htmlTreeParse fails, printing out the beginning of the HTML: Error in htmlTreeParse(getURL(url)) : File <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

I'm using the function htmlParse() in the XML package, and I need a little bit help on error handling while parsing an HTML page. So far I can use either the default way: # error = xmlErrorCumulator(), by default library(XML) doc = htmlParse("http://www.public.iastate.edu/~pdixon/stat500/") # the error message is: # htmlParseStartTag: invalid element name or the tryCatch()

hello, I have finished reading the papers, and i think it is time to design my project. First step will be determine the input characters are Chinese. i see the past post that cjk-tokenizer is just dealing with UTF-8 and unicode, but i see some other code system such as gbk and big5. i am wondering that should i just deal with UTF-8 and unicode?
