[R] Journal Articles that Have Used R

Sun Jun 7 16:01:14 CEST 2009

I think the reason Google will not find it is that, in the Journal
website, the R files (and the names of the article directories that
might contain them, such as journal.sjdm.org/8210/ -- see below)
are not directly pointed to by any index.html or any
"<href> ... </href>" in the website, as far as I can see. This would
be why 'wget' cannot find them in HTTP mode, and it would prevent
Google being led to them.

On the other hand, if one knows the name of a directory, then
a wget on that directory will assemble its list of contents into
an "index.html" file on the local machine, from which the names
of any ".R" files can be extracted with a bit of greppery.

For example,
  wget http://journal.sjdm.org/8210/
creates a local file "index.html", and then
  grep '[.]R' index.html
outputs:

<tr><td valign="top"><img src="/icons/unknown.gif"
  alt="[  ]"></td><td><a href="probs.R">probs.R</a></td><td
  align="right">09-Dec-2008 14:37
  </td><td align="right">1.0K</td></tr>

<tr><td valign="top"><img src="/icons/unknown.gif"
  alt="[  ]"></td><td><a href="test.R">test.R</a></td><td
  align="right">23-May-2008 05:46
  </td><td align="right">251 </td></tr>

thus revealing the two R files "probs.R" and "test.R" which are there.
Then a bit of seddery (or the like) could probably extract just the
filenames, by looking for *.R between > and <.

However, the key to the whole thing is knowing what the numerical
directory names (such as "8210) are. The only way I've found to do
this automatically is to download the whole site (Linux commands):

  mkdir sjdm
  cd sjdm
  wget -r -k -np -nH http://journal.sjdm.org/

extract the numeric directory-names with (e.g.):

  find . -type d -name '[0-9]*[0-9]' -print

and then work through the results of this with directory-specific
wget's as before.

This all seems to be overkill, however! Much easier if the site
would accept FTP.
