Hi R experts, I have been playing with library(XML) recently and found out that readHTMLTable workls flawlessly for some website, but it does give me an error like below
... Error in function (classes, fdef, mtable) : unable to find an inherited method for function "readHTMLTable", for signature "NULL" let's say..for example, this code works fine a <-"http://www.zam.com/forum.html?forum=21&p=2"; table_a <- readHTMLTable(a, header = TRUE, which = 1, stringsAsFactors = FALSE) but, this website gives me an error - b <-"http://www.mmo-champion.com/forums/266-General-Discussions/page2"; table_b <- readHTMLTable(b, header = TRUE, which = 1, stringsAsFactors = FALSE) Error in function (classes, fdef, mtable) : unable to find an inherited method for function "readHTMLTable", for signature "NULL" I think this is due to the structure of the website but i'm not very familiar with HTML file, so I'm curious what part of HTML file makes this happen. (Also it will be great (!) if someone can point out how to output the second example (like the format that first example outputs..) without an error Thanks, [[alternative HTML version deleted]] ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
