Re: [R] About converting files in R

[Bob Rudis]

Can you tell us where you got the file from and perhaps even send a
link to the file? I know of at least 11 types of files that use `.bin`
as an extension which are all different types of data with different
binary formats.

Lily,

Bob's suggestion is the best. You can also look at readBin(). Enter ?readBin at 
the R prompt.

I'm afraid we'll need more information that that since the answer from
many folks on the list to such a generic question is going to be a
generic "yes".

What's the source of the binary files? If you know the type, there may
even be an R package for it already.

[R] About converting files in R

Hi R users,

Do any of you have any experience about converting binary files to ascii or
txt files in R? Thanks a lot for your help.
