R help - Jun 2010 - importing multidimensional matrix from MATLAB

Hi,

Suppose I have a matrix of size 256x14x32 in MATLAB. I want to import
that into R. I used readMat and then do.call. But the variable is
stored as an array as its done in R. However, I want to define a
variable W=array(0,c(256,14,32)) in R and read the multidimensional
matlab variable into W. I am not able to do this in R. Please, could
you help ?

Thanks
Gopi

Gopi -
    Not much to go by, but maybe this will be helpful:

In matlab:
>> themat = rand(10,5,3)
>> save themat
In R:
> library(R.matlab)
> themat = readMat('themat.mat')
> dim(themat$themat)
[1] 10  5  3

(Since .mat file can store more than one object, 
readMat returns a list with each object as a 
named element.)
