Reading S-plus data in R

Hi William,

Thank you so much for your reply.

However, I still got error message:
data.dump(oldStyle=TRUE)
Error: could not find function "data.dump"
data.restore("C:/Users/FTSI/Desktop/2 ICGPA/1ACTIVITY.sdd")
Error: could not find function "data.restore"

Thank you.

The sdd file extension may mean that the file is in S+ 'data dump' format,
made by S+'s data.dump function and readable in S+ by its data.restore
function.
foreign::data.restore can read some such files in R, but I think it
may only read well
those with using the pre-1991 format made in more recent versions of
S+ with data.dump(old.style=TRUE).

Dear r-users,

I would like to read S-Plus data (.ssd) into R.  I tried this:

library(foreign)
read.S("C:/Users/FTSI/Desktop/2 ICGPA/1ACTIVITY.sdd")

and got this message:

read.S("C:/Users/FTSI/Desktop/2 ICGPA/1ACTIVITY.sdd")
Error in read.S("C:/Users/FTSI/Desktop/2 ICGPA/1ACTIVITY.sdd") :
  not an S object

What is wrong with this?  Thank you so much for your help.
