[R] Help Parsing String? From HTML

[Sparks, John]

Hi,

I am scraping some data from the internet and I got what I want but in a big long string (sort of) and can't figure out a way to parse it.

What I have gotten to is

> mystring
{xml_nodeset (1)}
[1] <p>{\n  "symbol": "ABI",\n  "open": 21.04,\n  "high": 21.05,\n  "low": 20.06,\n  "close": 20.2,\n  "volume": 938700,\n  "from": "2005-01-04"\n}</p>

But I can't find a way to isolate the individual elements such as symbol, open, etc.

I'll bet there is someone out there with a lot more experience at html parsing than me who can see a way to solve this in minutes.

Any guidance would be appreciated.
