[R] trouble for parsing HTML files

[Julien Velcin]

I use mac OS 10.5.8 with this version of R:

R version 2.14.1 (2011-12-22)
Platform: i386-apple-darwin9.8.0/i386 (32-bit)

I've tried the command "RSiteSearch", but with no result.

BTW, I recall that the code I've posted works for some websites.
