grep txt file names from html
Sorry Sarah.
I want to store them as a vector for use later.
so, similar to this:
links <-
c("http://www.epa.gov/emap/html/data/surfwatr/data/mastreams/9396/benthic/benmet.txt",
"http://www.epa.gov/emap/html/data/surfwatr/data/mastreams/9396/location/watchr.txt",
"http://www.epa.gov/emap/html/data/surfwatr/data/mastreams/9396/wchem/chmval.txt")

they're all of the form http.*txt but the best way to "grep" them (by which I assume you mean extract the file names from the page source) depends on what you plan to do with them, and what sort of output you expect. It isn't even clear whether you plan to do this in R. Sarah On Wed, Oct 31, 2012 at 12:56 PM, chuck.01 <
