Hi, I have a binary file which has the following structure: 1) Some header in the beginning 2) Thousands of 216-byte data sub-grouped into 4 54-byte data structured as 4-byte time stamp (big endian) followed by 50 1-byte (8-bit) samples.
So far this is how I am trying: #Open a connection for binary file to.read <- file("binary file", "rb") #Read header info <- readBin(to.read, character(),1) #Read data: byte=1, n=number of data (i know this from header) * 216 (bytes per data) data <- readBin(to.read, integer(), size=1, n=35269*216, signed=TRUE, endian = "big") I am able to read the header but obviously having trouble in that last line because my data has two sizes; 4-byte time stamp and one byte (8-bit) samples. Also, one is unsigned and other is signed. How do i read these two differently sized, signed data? Would appreciate any help, thanks. -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/readBin-which-has-two-different-sizes-tp2953365p2953365.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org 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.
