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

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 ?

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

I have many different type of nodes + <configuration>

Dear list, when iterating over a set of Rdata files that are loaded, analyzed and then removed from memory again, I experience a *significant* increase in an R process' memory consumption (killing the process eventually). It just seems like removing the object via |rm()| and firing |gc()| do not have any effect, so the memory consumption of each loaded R object cumulates until
