I am wanting to read EXCEL files into R. In the past I have saved EXCEL files as csv files without difficulty. Recently, when I have saved the files in this format I am then unable to open them again in EXCEL or though windows (XP). I receive a message stating - SYLK: file format not valid. R will read the file, but I cannot open it in windows. Csv files created and saved in the past (on the same computer) can still be opened. I am not saving as csv (Macintosh) and saving as a SYLK file results in the same error. Any suggestions are appreciated, Bob

...files I'm in the process of recuperating, and I'm hoping to avoid having to open them one by one to convert them into a modern, directly usable format. So I was wondering if someone somewhere had encountered this and maybe had a way to read Multiplan files in R, or, at least, a way to read SYLK files directly in R. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

r-help, Is there a package available for R which allows you to export data directly to .xls, much like exportData(foo,"foo.xls","EXCEL") in S-PLUS ? If not, is anyone working on this, or thinking about working on this? I apologise in advance if this question has already been answered. Many thanks, Matthew
