body: <p>I am trying to extract the values of all the values in all tabs from this page.
  <a href="http://www.imd.gov.in/section/hydro/dynamic/rfmaps/weekrain.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.imd.gov.in/section/hydro/dynamic/rfmaps/weekrain.htm</a></p>
  
  <p>I first tried downloading as excel. But that was not possible. I am just able to download it as text file. If I try reading directly from webpage I get the raw html page. I am stuck as how to extract these values. Please find the code which I tried till now.  </p>
  
  <pre><code>library(RCurl)
  require(XML)
  url = "http://www.imd.gov.in/section/hydro/dynamic/rfmaps/weekrain.htm"
  download.file(url = url, destfile = "E:\\indiaprecip")
  </code></pre>
