[R] data.restore() in R 2.5.1 for Windows 95 and later
To Whom It May Concern: I want to read in an S-PLUS data dump and I used> data.restore("filepath/filename")(in R 2.5.1 for Windows 95 and later) and I get the message Error: could not find function "data.restore" I have also tried read.S() and read.dta() with the same result. I cannot find any of these functions in the R Help for package base, although data.restore() is mentioned in the R Data Import/Export manual. I have also tried apropos() and "character(0)" returns. Additionally, I tried> getS3method("data","restore")but get Error in getS3method("data", "restore") : no function 'data' could be found In addition, I tried> dget("filepath/filename")and it was taking a very long time to import the desired data dump objects which previously took a shorter time using data.restore in SPlus. Any help is much appreciated! Thanks, Brad Christoffersen Graduate Student University of Arizona

The R Data Import/Export also says that this function is in the "foreign" package. :-) b On Jul 16, 2007, at 11:38 PM, Brad Christoffersen wrote:> To Whom It May Concern: > > I want to read in an S-PLUS data dump and I used > >> data.restore("filepath/filename") > > (in R 2.5.1 for Windows 95 and later) and I get the message > > Error: could not find function "data.restore" > > I have also tried read.S() and read.dta() with the same result.
