[R] Reading from a webpage

[Bert Gunter]

This list provides "Help" ; it sounds like you are looking for a
tutorial with detailed instructions, which generally goes beyond what
will be provided here. See the posting guide linked at the bottom for
what you *can* expect.

https://cran.r-project.org/web/views/WebTechnologies.html
provides information that may well be relevant.

Also, try searching at rseek.org. Entering "scraping web pages" there
brought up what looked like useful information, for example.
