Hi, I am working on developing a web crawler in R and I needed some help with regard to removal of javascripts and style sheets from the html document of a web page.
i tried using the xml package, hence the function xpathApply library(XML) txt = xpathApply(html,"//body//text()[not(ancestor::script)][not(ancestor::style)]", xmlValue) The output comes out as text lines, without any html tags. I want the html tags to remain intact and scrap only the javascript and styles from it. Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/Scrap-java-scripts-and-styles-from-an-html-document-tp3413894p3413894.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
