cleanIP: Cleans the name of a site

In alec25/smif.package: SMIF Risk Team Function Storage

Description

Attempts to coerce a full or partial URL into a form that can be used by calls to system functions. A small number of keyword inputs have special cases. Some 'notable' sites have IP addresses specified and return those instead of a processed URL.

Usage

cleanIP(site.name)

Arguments

site.name

Character; a string or vector of strings of the URL(s) or IP address(es) to be cleaned

Value

Character; the processed URL(s)/IP address(es)

Note

Due to the fact that some data firms employ multiple IP addresses for different purposes, the IP addresses returned for 'notable' sites are not guarenteed to correspond to the IP addresses accessed by many popular R functions, such as those in quantmod, though most are.
