(I've just realised that the example above might not be clear when
viewed in a browser)
So just to clarify, I would like to convert HTML entities into the
ASCII equivalent using R, saving the results to a plain text file.
For example:
x <- paste("i", "s", "n", "&", "a", "p", "o", "s", ";", "t", sep = "")
would become the following, when output to the plain text file:
> "isn't"
Thank you again for your time,
