Subject: Error when scan()ning dead URL's
Hi,
I often scan web pages directly into R using
scan('http://etc...','')
however this gives an error if the page/url doesn't exist, or the connection
to it is not available.
Is it possible to still use scan but have R return something other than an
error (which crashes code)
when the page or the connection isn't available.
Cheers
