Hello Folks, I'm working on trying to scrape my first web site and ran into a issue because I'm really don't know anything about regular expressions in R.
library(XML) library(RCurl) site <- "http://thisorthat.com/leader/month"; site.doc <- htmlParse(site, ?, xmlValue) At the ?, I realize that I need to insert a regex command which will decipher the contents of the web page...right? First, I'm not sure if the contents of the site would be considered a table and I'm also not sure how to disregard pictures when scraping the site. > sessionInfo() R version 2.13.0 (2011-04-13) Platform: i686-pc-linux-gnu (32-bit) Please Help!
