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

Following code bugs with "Memory allocation failed: Copying Node" error after parsing n thousand files. I have included the main code(below) and functions(after the main code). I am not sure which lines are causing the copying Node which results in memory failure. Please advise. #Beginning of Code for(i in 1:nrow(newFile)) { if(i%%3000 == 0) gc()

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 have a xml exported by Manifold GIS but I'm not being able to import it into R using XLM package. The file have this structure: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> - <layout> <name>Layout 2</name> <pagesByX>1</pagesByX> <pagesByY>1</pagesByY> - <elements> <legend

I would like to replace "\r\n" with "" in a character string, where "\r\n" exists only between < and >, how could I do that? Initial: characterString = "<XML><tag1 id=\"F\r\n2\"></t\r\nag1>\r\n<tag\r\n2></tag2></XML>" Result: characterString = "<XML><tag1

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

Dear R gurus, I use R all the time at work, so one day a problem managing my personal arise data made me think: "Why not use R, it does everything!". Anyway, my goal is to use R to manage my personal music library, and more precisely my playcounts. I have two XML files, one from Winamp and the other one from Itunes. Both have pretty much the same songs, but their playcounts are

Hi, Why is the following retuning a nodset of length 0: > library(XML) > test <- xmlTreeParse( > "http://www.unimod.org/xml/unimod_tables.xml",useInternalNodes=TRUE) > getNodeSet(test,"//modifications_row") Thanks for any hint. Joh

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!

Hi, I have a problem with spacing in XML files when reading them with xmlTreeParse. I don't know the exact specification of xml but according what I have red before it should work. consider a tiny test.xml file: <?xml version="1.0"?> <fields> <v1>1 </v1> <v2> 2 </v2> <v3> 3</v3> </fields> i.e. I have three fields v1, v2 and

I am trying to read a number of XML files using xmlTreeParse(). Unfortunately, some of them are malformed in a way that makes R crash. The problem is that closing tags are sometimes repeated like this: <tag>value1</tag><tag>value2</tag>some garbage</tag></tag><tag>value3</tag> I want to preprocess the contents of the XML file using gsub() before

Hello! I am crossposting this to R-help and BioC, since it is relevant to both groups. I wrote a wrapper for Entrez search utility (link for this is provided bellow), which can add some new search functionality to existing code in Bioconductor's package 'annotate'*. http://eutils.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query/static/esearch_help.html Entrez search utuility returns a XML document

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 ?

How do you read in a whole file while preserving end of line "\n" characters? Basically, read in a whole file as one string. Ex: <XML> <TAG> </TAG> </XML> After this file is read into a variable, it should really look like "<XML>\n<TAG>\n</TAG>\n</XML>\n" -- View this message in context:

Hi, I found an architecture-specific segfault problem with the XML package. I originally found the problem using the parseKGML2Graph function in the Bioconductor KEGGgraph package, but as far as I can tell the underlying issue seems to be with the xmlTreeParse which is called by parseKGML2Graph. I'm trying this piece of code, from the xmlTreeParse help page: library(XML) fileName <-

R Users - I asked about this a few months ago and never did quite figure it out, so with more information, allow me to try again. If I use the following code: library(xml) xmlTreeParse("http://home.comcast.net/~larsenmtl/xmlTestDoc.xml", isURL = TRUE) I receive this error: Error in xmlTreeParse("http://home.comcast.net/~larsenmtl/xmlTestDoc.xml"", : error in

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("

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 have many different type of nodes + <configuration>

Dear useRs, I have a simple/RTFM question about XML parsing. Given an XML file, such as (fragment) <A>100</A> <B>23</B> <C>true</C> how do I import it in a data frame or list, so that the values (100, 23, true) can be accessed through the names A, B and C? I installed the XML package and looked over the documentation... however after 20 minutes and a couple of
