An updated version 1.1.1 of xlsReadWrite has been submitted to cran.
Currently the cran version is still 1.0, but you can download the
updated version already here: http://treetron.googlepages.com.
xlsReadWrite is a package which allows you to natively read and write
Excelfiles (windows only).
Changes from xlsReadWrite 1.0.0 to 1.1.1
-> added colClasses argument ("rowname", "integer",
"double", "factor",
"character" and "NA" to determine type of data.frame
column)
-> "NA" values are no longer written into the Excelsheet.
-> vector will be written as a column instead of a a row
-> FIXED IMPORTANT BUG which could happen in rare cases in a RKRecord
cell and led to numbers not divided by 100, e.g. wrong by this factor.
(thanks to Eric Rexstad for reporting!)
-> fixed bug with colNames: character vector in colNames didn't
have an effect, I always used the Excel header row
-> compiled with range checks enabled (this should have been
done from the beginning; from now on programming errors
surface properly as range check errors).
-> minor changes in help text, README, testscripts improved...
-> LAST BUT NOT LEAST: clarified license text by granting an explicit
right to freely distribute and use this package incl. the dll.
(my own source is still licensed as GPLv2 (same as before)).
Removed R-copyright notices in my source (had been there as
a kind of credit but can be misunderstood)).
