similar to: Using readBin to read binary "unformatted" output files from Fortran?

Hello everybody Is there a way to output data into a file like the unformatted, direct fortran files? That's the kind that can be opened with: open(30, file='file', format='unformatted', access='direct', rec=1000, convert='big endian') Thank you in advance Kostas Douvis

I'm trying to read a binary file created by a fortran code using readBin and readChar. Everything reads fine (integers and strings) except for double precision numbers, they are read as huge or very small number (1E-250,...). I tried various endianness, swap, But nothing has worked so far. I also tried on R 64 bit for linux and windows (R 2.14) and R 2.11 on windows XP 32 bit. Any help would

Hello everyone, I've been looking for an R function to calculate bivariate weighted fits of my data set, preferably using methods of Williamson-York. Improvements offered by using bivariate weighted fitting compared to conventional linear least-square fitting was recently described in a paper by Cantrell (http://www.atmos-chem-phys.org/8/5477/2008/acp-8-5477-2008.pdf), in which the methods

Hello! I have problems with using of "readBin" to read files, which was written in C with "fwrite". In the C-File there is the following Code: fwrite(MyitINI,sizeof(itINItype),1,outfile); where MyitINI is a structure of the following form typedef struct{ int KernelFileSave; /* Determined, if Systemmatrix saved or not.*/ char KernelFileName[200]; /* A-Matrix name

I would like to use readBin to read a binary data file. Most of the data is 4-byte floating point but, for some reason, only double precision appears to be offered. I tried fVariable=readBin(iFile,what=single()); and got 35.87879 which looks believable except that the correct value is 3.030303. I then tried fVariable=readBin(iFile,what=single(),4); and got [1] 3.831111e+10 6.657199e+10

Dear all, I'm trying to write an efficient binary file reader for a file type that is made up of several fields of variable length, and so requires many small reads. Doing this on the file directly using a sequence of readBin() calls is a bit too slow for my needs, so I tried buffering the file into a raw vector and reading from that ("loc" is the equivalent of the file pointer):

The structure of the file is clear (see below) the first line is made of integers and doubles with the fifth being a text string followed by arrays of double precision number.: int1 int2 double1 double2 text int3 int4 int5 (array of double) here is an example of file: 1 1 1.0 1.0 "HEAD" 160 224 3 23.4 34.5 ...... I tried to read the first line with readBin (results are copied below):

R-devel: I am encountering a consistency issue using socketConnection and readBin with *non-blocking* connections on Unix and Windows XP (no Vista to test). I am a bit confused by the behavior of *non-blocking* connections under Windows specifically. When calling readBin on a non-blocking connection when there is no data to read on the socket, the connection under Unix will return a vector of

Hi all, I'm having problems trying to export binary arrays from R and importing them into fortran (linux openSUSE 10.3 (x86_64), gfortran compiler, fortran 90/95 program). Let's say the problem can be expressed as: R part ------------ >whini <- runif(1000) >writeBin(whini,"fwhini.dat") f90 part ------------ PROGRAM foo INTEGER, PARAMETER :: DP = KIND(1.0D0) INTEGER ::

Hi folks: This may be a stupid question, but I cannot seem to find a way to tell readBin that I want to read 2-byte integers from the connection. The input file is 150,720 bytes long containing 75,360 short (2-byte) integers. But specifying "integer" or "int" for what in readBin only returns me a vector of length 37680, leading me to believe that sizeof(integer) or

I think it would be helpful if readBin checked that its endian argument is a legal value. Why? I was reviewing some of our code and noticed that the author had readBin(..., endian="network") and never having heard of "network", I looked at the man page for readBin, and it hadn't heard of "network" either. Not good. I then looked at the R code for readBin, which

Hello, With the help of "seek" I can start "readBin" from any byte offset within my file that I deem appropriate. What I would like to do is to be able to define the endpoint of that read as well. Is there any solution to that already out there? Thanks for any hints, Joh

Hi, The man page for readBin has a small typo: --- a/src/library/base/man/readBin.Rd +++ b/src/library/base/man/readBin.Rd @@ -58,7 +58,7 @@ writeBin(object, con, size = NA, endian \code{readBin} and \code{writeBin} read and write C-style zero-terminated character strings.

I have been trying to use the gunzip function in the R.utils package. It opens a connection to a gzfile, uses readBin to read from that connection, and then uses writeBin to write out the raw data to a new file. This works as expected under linux/mac, but under Windows, I get: Error in readBin(inn, what= raw(0), size = 1, n=BFR.SIZE) : negative length vectors are not allowed A simple

Full_Name: Ken Yap Version: 1.6.1 OS: Linux (SuSE 8.0) Submission from: (NULL) (129.78.64.5) I'm trying to copy a file using readBin and writeBin. (The reason is to be able to pipe PostScript or PDF output to a socket later, this is just an experiment.) I do: zz <- file("foo.ps", "rb") r <- readBin(zz, character(), 1000000) yy <- file("bar.ps",

I've got an error with the way I'm using readBin on a binary file of unknown internal structure. I know the structure consists of rows and columns, but I'm not sure how many of each. So, does anyone know of a valid test set of binary data that I could reference while trying to figure out the technique of using readBin? It would be really helpful to try out readBin on a readily

I found that seek(..., origin = 'current', ...) and readBin(..., what = 'integer', ...) or 'int' do not work correctly. Did anyone have the same experience?

Hi, I'm running into more issues when reading data from a gzfile connection. If I read the data sequentially with successive calls to readBin(), the data I get looks ok. But if I call seek() between the successive calls to readBin(), I get corrupted data. Here is a (hopefully) reproducible example. See my sessionInfo() at the end (I'm not on Windows, where, according to the man page,
