There is a *manual* on R Data Import/Export, not just an FAQ.
This is the first request I have seen for .ods (whatever that is -- please
don't assume that a file type is determined by an extension, and we not
infrequently get asked about CSV files with extension .xls).

I've written a little python script that converts ods and xls to csv, and a
wrapper in R that imports a sheet of the ods and/or xls into a data.frame in
R. If this is a FAQ and there is an existing solution, great.
Actually, for xls, the library gdata has a read.xls function that uses a perl
function underneath.

Hi,
i want to import data from .ods and .xls files in R on a linux system.
Seems it was a faq in the past, but i found only solutions for Windows.
Is there a handy solution for linux? The best would be something like
mytab <-read.ods(...)
Any hints? Thanks a lot for reading so far,
