I need to construct a custom XML reader, the files I'm working with are in funky XML format: <str name="author">Paul H</str> <str name="country">USA</str> <date name="created_date">2010-02-16</date> I want to read the file so it looks like: author = Paul H country = USA created_date=2010-02-16 Does any one know how to go about this problem, or know of good references i could access?
Have you tried Duncan Temple Lang's XML package for R? It works very well for parsing and building XML formatted data. http://www.omegahat.org/RSXML/ Cheers, Ben
