[R] grep txt file names from html

[chuck.01]

Sorry Sarah. 
I want to store them as a vector for use later.  

so, similar to this:

links <-
c("http://www.epa.gov/emap/html/data/surfwatr/data/mastreams/9396/benthic/benmet.txt",
"http://www.epa.gov/emap/html/data/surfwatr/data/mastreams/9396/location/watchr.txt",
"http://www.epa.gov/emap/html/data/surfwatr/data/mastreams/9396/wchem/chmval.txt")
