Is there a way to launch Internet Explorer with a given URL in R? I want to clear the web pages to extract certain values, but I want to open the web pages themselves so that I can go through each one to make sure the data seems to be correct.
Here you go:
browseURL("http://www.r-project.org")
If you need it, browseURL() also takes a browser= argument, which allows you to specify the name or path of the program that will be used as the browser.
browseURL()
browser=
Maybe something like:
system("iexplore.exe http://www.foo.bar/eggs.html")
Can work under windows.
