r - 使用xpathSApply获取tabledata时的奇怪字符

标签: xml r web-scraping

我在R中的uisng XML包到scrape表。但是,在抓取表格后,我在结果中得到了一些奇怪的字符。以下是我获取表格的脚本:

TUrlhtml <- htmlParse(htmlfile)
TUrlTable <- xpathSApply(TUrlhtml, 
                          "//table[@class='results_table']/tr/td",
                          xmlValue)

这是我得到的结果:

[1] ""                                  "\xc2\xa02 HK"                      "Clp Holdings Limited\xc2\xa0"     "\xc2ec-00\xc2\xa0"             "66.60\xc2\xa0"        
[6] "\xc2\xa026-Feb-12\xc2\xa0"      "\xc2\xa0"                          ""                                  "\xc2\xa03 HK"                      "Hong Kong & China Gas Co\xc2\xa0"
[11] "\xc2un-03\xc2\xa0"             "21.40\xc2\xa0"                   "\xc2\xa019-Mar-12\xc2\xa0"      "\xc2\xa0"   

但是,当我使用Internet Explorer或firefox查看html文件时,html文件本身绝对没有问题。我该如何解决?非常感谢您的宝贵意见! 这是我的html文件:

答案 0 :(得分:2)

这是由非破坏性引起的空间。

这是unicode字符0xA0,即UTF-8中的\ xC2 \ xA0。

我不知道为什么它也插入了EE7B。
