odbcConnectExcel on non-Windows?
Dear Gabor:
Good suggestion. I will probably do that if "WriteXLS" is not
installed or if it is but "testPerl()" is FALSE.
Thanks,
Spencer

Instead of writing out an xls file you could write out a file in any format that Excel can read, e.g. csv, with a suitable renaming of your function. On Sun, Aug 9, 2009 at 1:04 PM, spencerg<spencer.graves at prodsyse.com> wrote:
Hello:
What should I do regarding code to write an Excel file in a non-Windows
platform?
The "sos" package [new version of "RSiteSearch"] on R-Forge includes
"writeFindFn2xls", which starts with "require(RODBC)". The next line calls
"odbcConnectExcel". This works under Windows but fails under Linux and
MacOS.
What would you suggest we do about this?
It currently tests (.Platform$OS.type == "windows"); if(FALSE), it
issues an error, saying that it only works under Windows. Also, the help
page skips those tests if the the platform is not Windows.
If there is a better way to handle this, I would like to know.
Thanks,
Spencer
