parse_html_table R Documentation
A simplistic HTML parser for Synop data from the Ogimet webpage
Description
Parses an HTML table into a data.frame using base R only with no external dependencies
The code relies purely on regular expressions and basic string and regex functions.
Usage
parse_html_table(html, table_start_pattern = "<TABLE[^>]*>")
Arguments
html
a single string containing the HTML body (or any larger HTML chunk) that includes the table you want to parse.
Details
By default the function grabs the first TABLE element it finds. If the HTML code
has several tables and you need a specific one, pass a regex that
matches its opening tag via table_start_pattern, e.g.:
parse_html_table(html, table_start_pattern = '<TABLE align="center" border=0[^>]*>')
