[R] retrieve certain part from html

[Henrique Dallazuanna]

Try using XML package:

Lines <- "<td><a href='2005-01.html'>2005-01</a></td><td><a
href='2006-01.html'>2006-01</a></td><td><a
href='2007-01.html'>2007-01</a></td><td><a
href='2008-01.html'>2008-01</a></td><td><a
href='2009-01.html'>2009-01</a></td>"

library(XML)
xpathApply(htmlParse(Lines), "//a", xmlAttrs)
