hi there, anybody knows how to import data into R from splus directly? I have a huge amount of data in splus format, which will cost forever for me to transform the data back to ascii or something else and then read them into R. thanks a lot. ximing -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help mailing list -- Read http://www.ci.tuwien.ac.at/~hornik/R/R-FAQ.html Send "info", "help", or "[un]subscribe" (in the "body", not the subject !)

If that really will cost forever, then I think any route will take a long time (and perhaps let that be a lesson not to store data in a proprietary format). You may find that the function readSdata in package Rstreams helps. The normal route is to dump in S-PLUS and source in R.

There's a nice function readSfile() in the Rstreams package, available at CRAN.
