Sorry I can't provide reproducible code because it involves data files. I saw no warning messages.
I'm using Mac 10.3, but the R is compiled by myself from command line. I'm reading in data from a XDR formatted file. The first 4 bytes is a 'long' integer, the remainder is double. --- problem with 'integer' and 'int' --- I can read in the doubles with readBin(fid, 'double', n, 4, endian = 'swap') n >= 1. No problem. However, readBin(fid, 'integer', 1, 4, endian = 'swap') readBin(fid, 'int', 1, 4, endian = 'swap') return "" I think even if the type is wrong, the result shouldn't be an empty string. ---- problem with 'seek' --- I have addresses a1, a2, a3, ... When I do seek(fid, a1) ... seek(fid, a2) ... seek(fid, a3) ... The results are correct. But they're not if I do seek(fid, a1) ... seek(fid, a2 - a1, origin = 'current') ... seek(fid, a3 - a2, origin = 'current') ... ______________________________________________ R-help@stat.math.ethz.ch 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.
