There was a wrong DLL for a short while in the old 1.5.2 version (I fixed a R2.12.0 related issue and unfortunately introduced this error). If you delete the old xlsReadWrite package and re-install the package (either from CRAN or see www.swissr.org/download) it really should work. 2010/12/10 haruo0409 <eixcx...@bca.bai.ne.jp>: > I'm also annoyed at same problem. > I installed xlsReadWriter today and entered > x <- read.xls("data.xls",sheet=1) > But I got Error Message: > 以下にエラー .Call("ReadXls", file, colNames, sheet, type, from, rowNames, : > 引数の個数(11)が不正です。10 個が ReadXls に対しては必要です > (It's Japanese.Its English translation is the same as yours) What's the 'library(xlsReadWrite)' startup message? For the current version it should be: 'xlsReadWrite version 1.5.3 (0b78c1)'. Could you please give more details about 'I installed xlsReadWriter today' (which CRAN mirror, 'R.version' and '.Platform' output, is there only one 'xlsReadWrite.dll' file on your system). It is supposed to work and I am unable to find any problem. Thanks a lot! 2010/12/8 tkdweber <tkd.we...@gmail.com>: >Without being able to read data, the > programme renders pointless for me :-( There are many ways to read/write data in R: * Other than load/save you could use read.table/write.table (see R Data Import/Export). * Using Excel files is not the recommended way. However when you want/need it, there are several options (see http://rwiki.sciviews.org/doku.php?id=tips:data-io:ms_windows) Cheers, Hans-Peter PS. not that I mind to discuss things here, but as these are package specific problems I'd suggest to switch to the xlsReadWrite forum (http://dev.swissr.org/projects/xlsreadwrite/boards). You also can create an issue (http://dev.swissr.org/projects/xlsreadwrite/issues/new) or just send an email to 'support' at 'swissr.org'). ______________________________________________ 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.
