Hi, I can't get the colClasses option to work in the readHTMLTable function of the XML package. Here's a code fragment: require("XML") doc <- "http://www.nber.org/cycles/cyclesmain.html" table <- getNodeSet(htmlParse(doc),"//table") [[2]] # The main table is the second one because it's embedded in the page table. xt

Hi, I am trying to access a website and read its content. The website is a restricted access website that I access through a proxy server (which therefore requires me to enable cookies). I have problems in allowing Rcurl to receive and send cookies. The following lines give me: library(RCurl) library(XML) url <- "http://www.theurl.com" content <- readHTMLTable(url) content

The table has a "Timestamp" column which, in the browser, appears with the format yyyy-mm-dd HH:MM (UTC), e.g. 2017-07-10 14:04 (UTC). When I import the table, the same date "2017-07-10 14:04 (UTC)" appears as "1499696500149969650021 minutes ago", This is the more recent date and time. Older

Thank you. The line of code you give certainly resolves several of the issues. I didn't realize that font support is such a tough matter to realize.

Hi, I am starting coding in r and one of the things that i want to do is to scrape some data from the web.

Not reproducible. [1][2][3] If our answers don't seem to apply to your situation, it will likely be because you did not explain your question clearly. Not plain text. This is a plain text mailing list, and the best-case scenario when you let your email program send HTML is that what you saw is not what we see (worst case is your email is scrambled on our end).

A stupid question but does anyone know how to express the actual colours used by the main Canadian political parties? I want to do a couple of ggplot2 plots and have lines or rectangles that accurately reflect the party colours. I can probably play around with RColorBrewer or something to figure it out but if some some already has got them it would save me some time especially with the NDP

Hi, I'm using the XML package to scrape data and I'm trying to figure out how to eliminate the memory leak I'm currently experiencing. In the searches I've done, it sounds like the existence of the leak is fairly well known. What isn't as clear is exactly how to solve it. The general process I'm using is this: require(XML) myFunction <- function(URL) { html

Dear Colleagues, I used this code to scrape data from the URL conatined within.
