使用R包`stringr`时的原子向量错误

标签: r dplyr stringr rvest

我想使用包rvest从网页中提取汽油价格。但是,我无法提取数值,必须通过html类.sp_p

library(rvest)
desmoines <- html("http://www.desmoinesgasprices.com/")

拉动汽油价格:

price <- desmoines %>%
  html_nodes(".sp_p")

head(price, 3)

输出:

[[1]]
<div class="sp_p">
  <div class="p2"></div>
  <div class="pd"></div>
  <div class="p5"></div>
  <div class="p5"></div>
</div> 

[[2]]
<div class="sp_p">
  <div class="p2"></div>
  <div class="pd"></div>
  <div class="p5"></div>
  <div class="p6"></div>
</div> 

[[3]]
<div class="sp_p">
  <div class="p2"></div>
  <div class="pd"></div>
  <div class="p5"></div>
  <div class="p7"></div>
</div> 

attr(,"class")
[1] "XMLNodeSet"

现在,我想使用包stringr从web scrape中提取数字,但我不能使用stringr,因为price不是原子向量。我该如何解决这个问题?

这是一种可能性:

library(stringr)
pr <- xml_children(price)
p_raw <- sapply(1:length(pr), function(x) paste(xml_attrs(pr[[x]]),collapse=""))
p_readable <- paste0("$",str_replace_all(p_raw,c("d"=".","p"="")))

#> p_readable
# [1] "$2.49" "$2.57" "$2.59" "$2.59" "$2.59" "$2.59" "$2.59" "$2.59" "$2.61" "$2.64" "$2.67" "$2.68" "$2.68"
#[14] "$2.68" "$3.08" "$2.99" "$2.98" "$2.98" "$2.98" "$2.98" "$2.98" "$2.98" "$2.98" "$2.98" "$2.98" "$2.98"
#[27] "$2.98" "$2.98" "$2.98"
