使用R的Web Scraping

Question

I am trying to copy the list of hospitals, their addresses, and their phone numbers from Catholic Health Initiatives .

The code I am using is:

# install.packages('rvest')
library('rvest')
htmlpage <- read_html("http://www.catholichealthinitiatives.org/landing.cfm?xyzpdqabc=0&id=39524&action=list")
chihtml <- html_nodes(htmlpage,".info , .address")
chi <- html_text(chihtml)
chi
library(stringr)

chi <- str_replace_all(chi, "[\r\n\t]" , "")
chi

and this is the heading result:

 [1] "CHI St. VincentTwo St. Vincent Cr.Little Rock, AR 72205P 501.552.3000F         501.552.4241"                                 
 [2] "Two St. Vincent Cr.Little Rock, AR 72205P 501.552.3000F 501.552.4241"

 [6] "Two St. Vincent CircleLittle Rock, AR 72205P 502.552.3000F 501.552.4241"

I would like to remove the duplicated address found below the main line:

[1] "CHI EX:   St. VincentTwo St. Vincent Cr.Little Rock, AR 72205P 501.552.3000F            501.552.4241"                                 
## remove next line ##
[2] "Two St. Vincent Cr.Little Rock, AR 72205P    501.552.3000F 501.552.4241"

Answer 1

Just specify .info or .address in html_nodes , depending on which you want:

chihtml <- html_nodes(htmlpage,".info")
chi <- html_text(chihtml, trim = TRUE)    # `trim = TRUE` to strip whitespace
head(chi)
# [1] "CHI St. Vincent\nTwo St. Vincent Cr.Little Rock, AR 72205P 501.552.3000F 501.552.4241"                      
# [2] "CHI St. Vincent Hot Springs\n300 Werner StreetHot Springs National Park, AR 71913P 501.622.1000"            
# [3] "CHI St. Vincent Infirmary\nTwo St. Vincent CircleLittle Rock, AR 72205P 502.552.3000F 501.552.4241"
