[R] How to download this data

[Bert Gunter]

This is not a simple question. The data are in an html-formatted web
page. You must "scrape" the html for the data and read it into an R
table (or other appropriate R data structure). Searching (the web) on
"scrape data from html into R"  listed several packages that claim to
enable you to do this "easily". Choose what seems best for you.

You should also install and read the documentation for the XML
package, which is also used for this purpose, though those you find
above may be slicker.

Disclaimer: I have no direct experience with this. I'm just pointing
out what I believe are relevant resources.

Cheers,
Bert
