Hi, I started playing around with a function for using StatTransfer (version 10) for importing data. This started as a simple task but it's not working and so now I'm very frustrated. I'm using R version 2.13 on Windows 7. The function, called fn.importData, is: function(file = NULL, type = NULL){ ## ## crea...

Hello * does anybody know a free (as in freedom) equivalent for Stat Transfer http://stattransfer.com/ Thank you Bye

Dear R-helpers, I would like to have my students read into R an online Stata dataset: 'http://www.stat.ucla.edu/projects/datasets/risk_project.dta' I was able to read it into R after downloading it and converting it with StatTransfer (http://www.stattransfer.com/). Here is what happens when I use read.dta() as I would use read.table(): > require(foreign) > risk2 <- read.dta('http://www.stat.ucla.edu/projects/datasets/risk_project.dta') > Error in read.dta("http://www.stat.ucla.edu/projects/datasets/...

...gmail.com I examined the file with a text editor and it contains 9.0301M1W32_7PRO in the second line. An older file that works successfully with the package contains 9.0101M3XP_PRO in the same position. Is this causing the failure? Is this something easy to fix? For the moment, I am using StatTransfer to convert the files. StatTransfer has no problem with the newer files suggesting that the problem might be trivial. I have contacted the package maintainer (matt.shotwell at vanderbilt.edu) twice without a response. Dennis Dennis Fisher MD P < (The "P Less Than" Company) Phone:...

Dear R-Listers, I am a Windows user (R 2.6.2) using the development version of sqldf to try to read a 3GB file originally stored in .sas7bdat-format. I convert it to comma-delimited ASCII format with StatTransfer before trying to import just the rows I need into R. The problem is that I get this error: > f <- file("hugedata.csv") > DF <- sqldf("select * from f where C_OPR like 'KKA2%'", file.format=list(header=T, row.names=F)) Error in try({ : RS-DBI driver: (RS...

...found by readTableHeader on 'aa.dat' The dataframe was initially an SPSS file, which saved it as tab delimited in this format: ### SPSS export "id" "var1" 1 "some " quote" 2 "without quote" ### which of course thrown the same obvious error. StatTransfer was the only software that solved the problem of exporting the SPSS file in a tab delimited file that could finally be imported in R, and the saved file looks like this: ### StatTransfer export "id" "var1" 1 "some "" quote" 2 "without quote" ##...

Hello, I am a developer working on extracting information from .rdata files using java. I have been looking through the documentation a lot trying to figure out how to read these files, but am a bit stuck at the moment. I have generated two .RDATA files from StatTransfer and have noticed that they both begin in similar ways. *File 1* RDA2 A 2 131585 66560 1026 1 4105 10 .Traceback 254 1026 1 4105 *8 <- these are the only difference* SPSSTest <-FileName 787 * * *File 2* RDA2 A 2 131585 66560 1026 1 4105 10 .Traceback 254 1026 1 4105 *9 **<- these are...

I am trying to read a SAS dataset into R that is in a .SD2 format, which is the Version 6 standard format from SAS. I see the routines that read the SAS XPORT format (foreign, Hmisc), but is there any way to read this one? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I recently received a Sigmaplot file (*.jnb) from a customer and would like to know if I can input it to a data frame and then manipulate the data in R.    I did a search on Google and on RSeek (www.rseek.org), but did not get any good hits.  Thank for any feedback and insight you can provide.   P.S. Love the flexibility of R and would love to keep using it.   Just wanting to know if this is

When I try to import an spss sav file with read.spss() I am getting the following error 'Error in read.spss("X:\\xxxx.sav") : error reading system-file header' and the import process is aborted. I have tried in v. 2.3.0 and 2.3.1 The sav-file loads without problems in spss v14 I have tried saving in older spss v7 but are getting the same result. The read.spss() has other

I am a new R user attempting to convert files from Statistica to R. I can export from Statistica to SPSS .por format, but not to the SPSS .sav format. Is there a procedure for easily accomplishing this, which will allow me to keep variable short and long labels (big surveys LOTS of time to replace all this work). Many thanks for sharing your time and knowledge. steve Dr Steven M Burgess
