Is there a dataload utility for linux. The link in genstat is down but I managed to find the utility at: http://gurukul.ucc.american.edu/econ/gaussres/UTILITYS/DATALOAD.HTM but this is a dos/windows version. Thank you Jean

I would like to announce that my DataLoad utility which can be found at: http://www.vsn-intl.com/genstat/downloads/datald.htm has been updated to support R data.frames. DataLoad reads a large variety of data formats (listed on the web page) and can convert these to ASCII or XDR data.frames. Only the Windows and Linux versions are up to date due to the fact that I no longer has access to a Unix

Thanks to all who have responded. My concern was to be able to write a csv file that can have line feeds in string columns chr(10). Why? Excel allows line feeds chr(10) within cells and line breaks chr(13)+chr(10) at line ending, but the windows version of R automatically replaces \n by \r\n in writing and \r\n by \n in reading (text mode). The clues for a solution came from Brian Ripley and

There is a recurring need for importing large csv files quickly. David Baird's dataload is a standalone program that will directly create .rda files from .csv (it also handles many other conversions). Unfortunately dataload is no longer publicly available because of some kind of relationship with Stat/Transfer. The idea is a good one, though. I wonder if anyone would volunteer to

I have Excel files containing data that I would like to move to R. They are in the standard form of a one row header followed by rows of data, one record per row EXCEPT that there are a few rows of comments before the header. The number of rows of comments varies. For Excel files of this form without comments I have had success with: require(RODBC) z <-

I am a new R user attempting to convert files from Statistica to R. I can export from Statistica to SPSS .por format, but not to the SPSS .sav format. Is there a procedure for easily accomplishing this, which will allow me to keep variable short and long labels (big surveys LOTS of time to replace all this work). Many thanks for sharing your time and knowledge. steve Dr Steven M Burgess

Is there any documentation on what kind of SPSS file can and cannot be read by read.spss? Alternatively, how can one modify or "clean" an SPSS file to make it readable by read.spss? What properties must a *.sav file before read.spss can read it? The file in this example is 270KB, with 5 rows and 173 columns. I have no trouble reading larger files with read.spss, so it's not

Hi.. I have a program called DATALOAD, used to feed data to an Oracle Webform. I managed to install DATALOAD in wine without a problem, but the program can't see the Oracle browser windows, which is run on Linux (Ubuntu 10.04). Is there any trick in order to allow applications inside Wine to interact with applications in linux? Thanks
