[R-sig-finance] Reading Foreign Exchange XML Data

[Charles and Kimberly Maner]

Hi all.  Does anyone know of an R package which reads and dynamically
creates an R data object, (e.g., dataframe, ts, its object), from the
foreign exchange data posted on the Fed Reserve Bank of New York website,
http://www.ny.frb.org/xml/fx.html?  Currently, I'm parsing it using a
sed/vim script to create a CSV file then importing it into R using read.csv.
I've a hunch there's an easier way but am yet to come across one.  Any help
would be appreciated.


Thanks,
Charles
