Bug Fix in Desktop Application

I have an application that parses bibliometric data from Google Scholar and places it in an SQLite database for the purposes of citation analysis (looking at publication trends over time). The data that is collected are all standard publication fields: title, author, year, etc.

Google Scholar just changed the way that results are returned on its pages, which has broken the parsing function in my program. I need someone to go in and fix the necessary values so that the function can identify the right fields to stick in the data. The function is below - you can see that the main task is to find the correct URL values given the updates to Scholar.

The application is written in the R scripting language (a statistical programming environment similar to MatLab). Your task will be to update the function, test it to make sure the correct data is being populated into the database, and compile the program (compiling is done within the R environment).

newCnaGlobals <- function()

{

.e <- [url removed, login to view](parent=globalenv())

# URL related

.e$searchURL <- '[url removed, login to view]'

.e$numURL <- '&num='

.e$pageURL <- '&start='

.e$BibTexURL <- c('[url removed, login to view]:',

':scholar.google.com/&output=citation&oe=ASCII&oi=citation')

.e$citationURL <- '[url removed, login to view]'

.e$numOfResultPerPage <- 10

.e$cookie <- paste('PREFID=a9eefe36cd611ab2:LD=en:NR=', .e$numOfResultPerPage,

':CR=2:TM=1183509455:LM=1183509455:GM=1:S=IIKC--QkQ7gqO1ba;',

'testcookie=; GSP=ID=c87d9fd14e329d94:IN=7e6cc990821af63:CF=4', sep='')

.e$httpRequest <- 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1) ; .NET CLR [url removed, login to view])'

class(.e) <- 'dataholder'

return(.e)

}
