[R] Problem with readHTMLTable

[arun]

Hi Sven,

The function is working perfectly fine for me.  Could it be due to package masking the function?  Sometimes, these problems will get solved by restarting R console.  It happened to me a couple of times.

A.K.

Subject: [R] Problem with readHTMLTable

Hello All,

i was trying to simply run the readHTMLTable on the example published in the
package. And on a page I was working on. So running:

u = "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_population"
tables = readHTMLTable(u)

returns the following error:

Error in tb[["thead"]] : subscript out of bounds


looking up this error on the web, didnt give me any hint. Is something wrong
with this function?


this is my sessioninfo:
