Good Evening, Just started learning R and one of the task given to me is to convert Binary Data into text. I'm not sure what package i'm suppose to use. Can i get an idea of how i can convert binary into text.? Regards,Fahman Khan [[alternative HTML version deleted]]
Welcome to R and R-help! It would help others help you if you provided a minimal example and explained your situation with a bit more details. It's pretty vague as it stands. Base R has both a `readBin()` and `rawConnection()` functions (amongst other tools for such things) and there are a few packages that also help with reading "binary" data. But, without knowing more specifics, that's about as much direction as any of us wld be able to give. -Bob On Sat, Jun 11, 2016 at 9:06 PM, Fahman Khan via R-help <r-help at r-project.org> wrote:> Good Evening, > Just started learning R and one of the task given to me is to convert Binary Data into text.

Suggestion: Before posting here, search! You are likely to get the info you want a lot faster. The rseek.org website is particularly helpful, but google, bing, etc. are also typically useful. The phrase "read binary data" brought up many hits on rseek, but as a Bob said, you may need to refine/clarify your query to get what you want.
