For several days, I try to run an Windows- Application on an Ubuntu 7.04 System through wine 0.9.58. In detail, it's a tool for supporting a change of food and sports behavior. The tool is freeware, named "Di?t- Tagebuch" (diet diary or diet day book) and downloadable at: http://www.diet-daybook.de/DTBInstall2.exe (unfortunately it's only in german) The DTBInstall2.exe is an

Dear R user, I am running R under Windows 2000. I am looking for a routine for importing - shape files (ESRI) into R - dbase files (FOXPRO) into R and I am looking for time-space models for description and prediction of Bernoulli-, Binomial- and Poissonvaraibles. Thank's a lot for a reply. Sincerely yours, Ekkehardt Altpeter Swiss Federal Office of Public

Greetings - After 20+ years of using SAS, for a variety of reasons, I'm using [R] for a bunch of things - while I'm getting a pretty good a handling [R] for script programming, and statistical analysis, I'm struggling with 'pulling data into [R]'. For reasons beyond my control, a number of the files I get sent to 'work with' are in Dbase format (*.dbf). For

Hello all, I have a samba 2.2.1a server running as the PDC of my network on a Mandrake 8.0 system with a reiserFS partition. I am serving for the win98 clients a small DOS clipper program with a DBF database. The programs run well on the workstations when there is only one user using it, when another user try to use the same program it starts to get very slow. I think this is a lock

Hi all, Does anybody know the easiest way to import excel data into R? I copied and pasted the excel data into a txt file, and tried read.table, but R reported that Error in read.table("data_support.txt", sep = " ", header = T) : more columns than column names Thanks! Ling

Hello, I've been working with a xBase database (similar to dBase) in a multiuser application. There are like 40 users working on the database on the same time reading and like 10 writing information. Sometimes the CDX files (Index Files) get corrupted and is it's necessary to pack the tables (rebuild the indexes). I have notice using the smbstatus -B command the following Pid

I'm trying to figure out if a file has changed since the last rsync call. I use the following command line: rsync -cvv /mnt/xxx/vol1/dbase/100/kunden.dbf /mnt/label | grep "^total: " | sed -e 's/.* data=//' This gives a 0 if the file is unchanged and the file size if the file has changed. Adding the "dry-run" option "n" to the command line always

Hi, I meet a strange trouble writing shapefiles with write.pointShape() from maptools. > write.pointShape(mylines[,5:9], file="Sxtplinshp", mycoordspt) Error in write.pointShape(mylines[, 5:9], file = "Sxtplinshp", mycoordspt) : shapefile names must conform to the 8.3 format It seems that the function request a special shapefile name spelling (conformed to 8.3

Hello, I have a server samba/linux executing a software Delphi with access to database Paradox. The configurations are OK, but when more than an user is accessing the system, he is very slow. How can I solve this problem? Regard?s F?bio Ferreira fabio@datafusion.com.br

Hi, could someone please give me the correct entries for using Foxpro with a samba share.

Hi All, I am experiencing issues with the use of DBase files on a Samba 2.0.5a share, that appear to be due to locking problems. Basically, I have test programs for both DOS and Win32 that does nothing but append records to a DBase database (DBF/MDX files). If more than one client PC is appending to this file, data loss occurs. I get random data loss, with records lost, and index file

Hello.. I am currently working on running random forest to make predictions. For that I have a bunch of .dbf files from shapefiiles. Earlier I was running random forest on those dbf files individually but now I have >1,000 such files and procesisng one by one is not an option. I started by trying to read multiple dbf files as: >setwd (..) >a=list.files() > for (x in

Hello, I'm newbie in R and I have a problem exporting a table with many columns to a dbf file. I found an error when I open the result DBF file on other software and also importing it on R again. Here a example snippet of the problem (on a GNU/Linux OS): http://pastebin.com/0SMJqqwb Is it a bug? Thank you, Nacho V [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Hi I know that it is very easy to import data from a dbf file to R, by saving the data as csv, for instance. However, I have several hundreds of files to do that. So, I thought of using RODBC to read the dbf files and save it as data.frame. However, I cannot even start (this is my first time using such package): > library(RODBC) > bdades <- odbcConnect("prova.DBF") Warning

Hi there, This is summary and patch for a bug in read.dbf, demonstrating in Message-Id: <20050818150446.697835cb.stanimura-ngs at umin.ac.jp>. After consulting Rjpwiki, a cyber-community of R user in Japan, the cause was found, and the patch of solution was proposed. Overflowing occurs when we use read.dbf for reading a dbf file having a field of longer signed integer. For example, $

Hello, I am loading a DBF file into R via JGR and am having trouble creating small multiple histograms on a date variable. Hist() handles the variable correctly. But I've been unable to work with lattice or ggplot2 despite trying format() and as.POSIXct(). Dates are in the format "2010-05-15" and the grouping variable is categorical. I'd appreciate it if someone would provide an

howdy R friends, Can anyone help me with converting a ''unix'' date (seconds since 1970) into something readable? There doesn''t seem to be anything in the ''date'' package and the prospect of calculating this myself doesn''t excite me. thanks, John Strumila -.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.- r-help

The TIMSS2007 database http://timss.bc.edu/TIMSS2007/idb_ug.html seems to provide "both kinds" of universal data formats - either SPSS saved data sets or SAS saved data sets. (Yes, I am being sarcastic.) These, of course, are accompanied by massive codebooks explaining the nature of each of the fields in the data sets. The T07_Codebooks.zip file available at that site contains .pdf
