Also confused. HTML and SQL are like apples and bugs. For HTML (assume you want to extract stock quotes from a site) -- If you have strict XHTML, using package XML might be the best choice, but I doubt you get these nowadays. -- Otherwise, read in the file and use regular expressions (grep, gsub) to parse. For SQL: SELECT * from mybase -- "Importing" that string does not help very much, this is a program telling you what to do when you know your database. -- You might have a look at package RODBC or RSQLite; details depend on the database you are going to use.
