R help - Jun 2009 - Writing Reports from R in Office Open XML format (ooxmlWeave?)

Dear all,

has someone implemented functionality for writing reports from R in
Office Open XML format (*), similar to what odfWeave does for the ODF
format of OpenOffice? It would be great to have a kind of
"ooxmlWeave".... at least for those of us who are forced to work in an
MS ecosystem.

(*) Office Open XML is the default, XML-based, file format for MS
Word: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_Open_XML

Kind regards,
  Tobias

Yes. We will release a version in the next few weeks
when I have time to wrap it all up.
There is also a Docbook-based version that uses
R extensions to Docbook for authoring structured
documents.

Wow, It sounds great. Looking forward to it.

I need to convert a date-style string:  "2009-06-16 09:28:17.746"
To its POSIX representation: 1245137297746


The function below converts my POSIX date to a string ... now I need to go
backwards!


render.t32 <- function(t32, tz = "CET")
  {
   timez <- ISOdatetime(1970,1,1,0,0,0, tz ="UTC")+t32/1000
   return(format(timez,"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%OS3",tz="CET"))
  }

> render.t32(1245137297746)
[1] "2009-06-16 09:28:17.746"


Have not succeeded in my attempts to understand POSIX
and I thank you for your attention.

I assume you mean you wish to convert it from text to
to the numeric representation that POSIXct uses:
> options(digits = 20)
> as.numeric(as.POSIXct("2009-06-16 09:28:17.746"))
[1] 1245158897.746

If you just want convert it to POSIXct then omit the
as.numeric part.
