Hello,
The following seems to work.
library(XML)
url <- "http://house.gov/representatives/";
dat <- readHTMLTable(readLines(url), which=1, header=TRUE)
str(dat)
head(dat)
Hope this helps,
Rui Barradas

Hello:
What tools would you recommend for extracting the table of
members of the US House of representatives from
"http://house.gov/representatives/"; and
"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_current_members_of_the_United_States_House_of_Representatives_by_age";?
I started writing something using getURL{RCurl}. However, I'm
getting bogged down manually selecting character sequences to search for
and split on.
Thanks,
Spencer Graves
