Is there any way to read these files (standard .mat files, created by matlab version 7 onwards are compressed)? I know that R.matlab doesn't read them (it even says in the file MatlabServer.m "Matlab v7 saves compressed files, which is not recognized by R.matlab's readMat()" (lines 47-8)).
I know I should be able to make R call Matlab and transfer data (not that I managed to make it work yet!), but I'd rather not run Matlab & R together: I'd like to use R to read matlab files on machines not licensed for matlab! Are there any ways to make this work? --Leslie Smith -- Prof Leslie Smith Computing Science and Maths University of Stirling FK9 4LA Scotland Tel (44) 1786 467435 -- The University of Stirling is a university established i...{{dropped:11}} ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
