Hi, I wonder whether there is any convenient function (or package) to extract tables from a HTML page? e.g. from http://www.google.com/finance/historical?q=SHE:002251
I know we can readLines('URL'), gsub('<td>...', '...', source), ... and at last get the numbers; I'm writing to ask whether someone has already contributed a more general function (with the package XML or other packages). Thanks!
