Re: [R] R and reading matlab compressed files
One possibility is to save in ASCII format from Matlab (save -ascii)

Re: [R] R and reading matlab compressed files
According to the Octave manual (page 146 of Edition 3 for Octave
version 2.9.16) Octave can read Matlab version 7 files. It can also
output with similar options to Matlab. As there are no issues or
licencing problems when running Octave and R on the one machine. Note
that there is a new native Windows version of Octave now available
that does not require cygwin.

By also zipping the file it will be comparable in size to the binary '.mat' format.

See help(readMat), which says From Matlab v7, _compressed_ MAT
version 5 files are used by default [3]. These are not supported. Use
'save -V6' in Matlab to write a MAT file compatible with Matlab v6,
that is, to write a non-compressed MAT version 5 file. Note: Do not
mix up version numbers for the Matlab software and the Matlab file
formats.
This should do if you have access to Matlab and you're in charge of
the MAT files.
Hope this helps
