How to load a local HTML file in R with htmltools?

Question

I'm having a hard time loading a local HTML file. I tried with xml2 and it gives an empty file. With htmltools and its function includeHTML I get an error message.

library(htmltools)

rawHTML<-includeHTML("C:/Users/grouetl/Documents/ProjetsLISE/Camille/Corpusgetz.html")

I get this error message :

Error in file(con, "r") : cannot open the connection
In addition: Warning message:
In file(con, "r") :
  cannot open file 'C:/Users/grouetl/Documents/ProjetsLISE/Camille/Corpusgetz.html': No such file or directory

I tried various version of relative path (after having set the wd) but I always get the same result.. Thank you for any advice

There is a typo in your code. It should be .html instead of .hmtl — shamnad sherief, May 03 '23 at 09:06
I'm not familiar with R, but have you tried double slashes? `c://` or `c:\\` and so on... — pierpy, May 03 '23 at 18:45

the problem was solved simply by changing the extension of the file from "file.html" to "file.HTML" !
