dear R user,

I need a function that download the code of web page as html, to further
parse it.

something like

>site="http://www.R-project.com"
>code=function(site)
>code

!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>The R Project for Statistical Computing</title>
<link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="R.css">
</head>

<FRAMESET cols="1*, 4*" border=0>
<FRAMESET rows="120, 1*">
<FRAME src="logo.html" name="logo" frameborder=0>
<FRAME src="navbar.html" name="contents" frameborder=0>
</FRAMESET>
<FRAME src="main.shtml" name="banner" frameborder=0>
<noframes>
<h1>The R Project for Statistical Computing</h1>

Your browser seems not to support frames,
here is the <A href="navbar.html">contents page</A> of the R Project's
website.

</noframes>
</FRAMESET>

is there any function that can perform similar task? thank you in advance.

John
