Thanks a lot for the guidance.
The ULTIMATE GOAL is to scrape data from websites (HTML/CSS), automate report generation in pdf/HTML format (output), followed by creating interactive dashboards using tableau. Now i know how to make dashboards etc in tableau. But really don't know how to Scrape date using R (which packages to install, reference code guide/tutorial etc for understanding) and automate report generation.
I have tried Rcurl() & Readlines() for reading and parsing data directly from the websites, but still a long way off from perfecting it.
