Is it possible to read fortran binaries with R? I tried unsucessfully and my
understanding is that fortran write binaries with leading and trailing
bytes. I get numbers but not the right ones.
Thanks
ps: the binary I'm interested in reading is a MODFLOW output with a mix of
character, double and integers.
R can read most binary files, as long as you tell it the right format to
read. You need to consult the documentation of the program that
produced the file to find out the format. If it adds leading or
trailing bytes, just tell R to skip over those --- but you need to know
how much to skip.
