[R] Write signed short into a binary file

I'm using R 2.3.1 on WinXPsp2, 32 bit What I want to do is to write a signed short integer (16 bit) (actually, a sequence of them) into a binary file. I'm trying with writeBin, but the what clause is not supported, and an integer is 4 bytes long, nor it seems to exist something like as.int

[R] Write signed short into a binary file (follow up and conclusion)

I've solved my problem using: (purpose: write the signed integer -19 as a two byte integer into a binary file) writeBin(as.integer(-19),myconnection, size=2) There is no need to coerce. Thanks anyway! Luca NanettiUniversity Medical Center Groningen BCN-NeuroImagingCenter A.Deusinglaan 2 9713AW
