Hello,
I'm wondering if I can get some help with reading Fortran binary "unformatted"
output files into R.
The Fortran output files were generated in Ubuntu 10.04 LTS using gfortran4.4,
on a 32bit Intel Core 2 Duo 3.16 GHz machine, with little-endian and record
marker lengths equal to 4.
The machine I'm currently trying to read this Fortran output file is a Macbook
Pro running Lion 10.7.3, on a 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4Gb of ram. I'm
running R 2.14.1.
Based on whatever information I could gather from the web, I've been trying out
the following code (the name of the Fortran output file is "header", located in
the current working directory).
> to.read <- file("header", "rb")
> readBin(to.read, "integer", n=2, size = 4, endian = "little")
Unfortunately, these commands return empty.
Am I on the right track here? Is what I'm trying to accomplish here even
technically possible?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Jooil
