Dear all,
Is there any way to read AML ArcInfo scripts within R environment?

Thanks

Aren't they plain text files? Use readLines and get it into a character vector.

Alejandro, reading, yes, but interpreting (which is how I understand
your question), no. Translating the flow of AML to R would be easy,
although you would probably want to do things differently in R (fewer
loops). Another matter is whether R has functions equivalent to those
of ArcInfo. Certainly not all of them, but I think that the functions
in the 'raster' package are roughly equivalent to those in the ArcInfo
'grid' module. Robert
