Hi all, this is my first post in this mailing group. I hope that anyboby could help me parsing a xml file. I found this website http://www.omegahat.org/RSXML/gettingStarted.html but unfortunately my XML file is not as easy as the one in the example. Example: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <?xml-stylesheet

I'm struggling with package XML to parse a Garmin file (named *.tcx). I wonder if it's form is incomplete, but appreciably reluctant to paste even a shortened version. The output below shows I can get nodes, but an attempt at value of a single node comes up empty (even though there is data there. One question: Has anybody succeeded parsing Garmin .tcx (xml) files? Thanks! Michael

Hi, I have an existing XML document on disk, which I'd like to use as a template, and exchange a subnode with my own newly created subtree: <?xml version="1.0"?> <Duncan> <name a="1" b="xyz"> <first>Duncan</first> <last>Temple Lang</last> </name> </Duncan> created by e.g. ? library(XML)

Is there any function to write a XML structure, after it was read using xmlTreeParse? Ex: library(XML) x <- xmlTreeParse("Irpf2008/aplicacao/dados/12345678901/12345678901.xml") # write it... Alberto Monteiro PS: please, brazilians, don't be offended by my foul language!

Can't seem to get the code below working. It gets stuck on line 24 inside the function hm; comments show the line in question. The function hm is called by sapply and is at the bottom of the code. Other stuff above line 24 works correctly including the first couple of lines of the function hm. Should I be using a different apply function or am I doing something wrong with xmlTreeParse ?

Hey, I have an double loop like this: chunk <- list(1:10, 11:20, 21:30) for(k in 1:length(chunk)){ print(chunk[k]) DummyCatcher <- NULL for(i in chunk[k]){ print("i load something") dummy <- 1 print("i do something") dummy <- dummy + 1 print("i do put it together") DummyCatcher = rbind(DummyCatcher, dummy) } print("i save a chunk

I would like to track in which journals articles about a particular disease are being published. Creating a pubmed search is trivial. The search provides data but obviously not as an R dataframe. I can get the search to export the data as an xml feed and the xml package seems to be able to read it. xmlTreeParse("

Does anyone have any experience retrieving latitutde and longitude for an address from the Google Maps API?

R Users: After installing Bioconductor, RSXML and all the relevant Win32 DLLs (libxml2, zlib, iconv), I receive the following error message when using pm.getabst() Error in xmlRoot(absts) : no applicable method for "xmlRoot" I receive this when using the example from help(pm.getabst).

Dear All I am doing one distributed data mining program. So I selected GridR package for the distributed programming. *grid.init(service="local",debug=FALSE, localTmpDir="GridRTmp/") grid.apply("x",UCS, wait=TRUE )* UCS is a function. When I execute this statement, I have some errors like : *cannot load local function/variable: xmlRoot extracted from line: : no

Dear list I tried to read an xml file using the xml package. Unfortunately, some encoding problems occure. E.g. german Umlaut will be red correctly.

Hello everyone, I would like to parse very large xml files from MS/MS experiments and create R objects from their content. (By very large, I mean going up to 5-10Gb, although I am using a 'small' 40M file to test my code.) My first attempt at parsing the 40M file, using the XML package, took more than 2200 seconds and left me quite disappointed. I managed to cut that down to around 40

Dear, I want to read XML documents, add child nodes to some elements and store everything back as an XML document. I've tryed the following: doc <- xmlTreeParse("file.xml") QTListNode<-xmlElementsByTagName(xmlRoot(doc)[[1]],"tagname") append.xmlNode(QTListNode[[1]],newXMLNode(name ="Norm", attrs = NULL)) saveXML(doc, file = "out.xml",

Hi, I'm trying to use the XML package to read an RSS feed.

Dear all, for my diploma thesis I have to import huge XML-Files into R for statistical processing - huge means a size about 33 MB. I'm using the XML-Package version 1.9 As far as reading the complete file into R via xmlTreeParse doesn't work or is too slow, I'm trying to use xmlEventParse but I got completely stuck.

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

Hello experts, Sorry for posting the SPlus related question here.. I have not found any solution yet after some attempts and hence, sending it to a wider spectrum of users! I was successful in processing files uing R's XML librariy. Thank you, Rxperts! I know there are libraries like XML and SPXML available in S-Plus. Could anyone please share examples of reading an xml file and save the
