Subject: [Rd] extracting tables from web pages?
Message-ID: <51798B4A.1000401@structuremonitoring.com>

Hello:


       What tools would you recommend for extracting the table of 
members of the US House of representatives from 
"http://house.gov/representatives/" and 
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_current_members_of_the_United_States_House_of_Representatives_by_age"? 



       I started writing something using getURL{RCurl}.  However, I'm 
getting bogged down manually selecting character sequences to search for 
and split on.


       Thanks,
       Spencer Graves
