Dear All, I want to upload data in HDF-file format into R. I have tried the package 'hdf5' without success. I presume that my files are in the hdf4 format and therefore are not readable with this package. I understand that its possible to convert hdf4 into hdf5 format using C, but I was wondering whether there is an alternative option for importing hdf4 files into R? kind regards, Katrin -- Katrin Fleischer Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam Faculty of Earth and Life Sciences Subdepartment Hydrolgy and Geo-Environmental Sciences Room E-360 De Boelelaan 1085 1081 HV AMSTERDAM Tel: +31 20 59 87391
